Canada and Malta announced plans to recognize the state of Palestine this September, joining France and the United Kingdom in efforts to advance a two-state solution and bring an end to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed the decision following a Cabinet meeting, while Malta’s foreign ministry emphasized the nation’s commitment to translating the idea of Palestinian self-determination into tangible progress. Both countries intend to formalize recognition during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, which begins later this month.
Malta’s prime minister described the move as part of the country’s pursuit of lasting peace in the Middle East. France and the UK, major Western powers, have also signaled recognition or willingness to recognize Palestine, with the UK stating it may hold off if Israel agrees to a ceasefire and peace talks. Israel opposes the two-state approach and is boycotting the assembly, joined by the United States. Meanwhile, calls for swift international action and broader recognition of Palestine have been echoed in recent UN discussions, emphasizing the goal of a demilitarized Palestinian state coexisting peacefully alongside Israel.
