Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that his country plans to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations.
In a Friday post on X, Carney stated: “Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.” He added that Ottawa “will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.
The Prime Minister also said that Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian adisaster in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron declared his intention to recognise the State of Palestine in September 2025.
In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the move, saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state would pose a threat to Israel’s security.
Meanwhile, the Hamas movement welcomed Macron’s intention to recognise Palestine during the UN General Assembly in September.
Hamas described the move as a positive step in the right direction towards justice for the oppressed Palestinian people and support for their legitimate right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all of its occupied territory, with Jerusalem as its capital.
The recognition vote in the UN is upcoming. How are they supposed to make their stance before the conference.
Well, words would be the usual method. Like, you know, spoken, or written, either is good. That's the usual method of conveying your stance on something. Not really sure what other answer you would be expecting there.
Uhhhh... Like in a tweet?
What was your exit strategy from this reply?
Because if I said "Yes" then your next step is to quote the part of the tweet that you think backs up your assertion. Only, you already did that. And I already pointed out that it doesn't say what you think it says. So in what possible way did you imagine that this line of argument was going to end up with you looking good?
"Canada supports a two state solution"
Name the two states, go on. Say it.
I addressed this back in my original comment. At this point you're just embarrassing yourself and wasting my time. I'm not going to bother replying further, you clearly need to get back to school and learn some basic reading comprehension.
What's the problem, why can't you say the two states being referred to?
