Canada’s recognition of Palestinian state will likely have minimal impact without U.S. support, analysts say

The Canadian government’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state in September reflects Ottawa’s deep frustration with the Israeli government and sends a strong message that it supports a two-state solution, but analysts say it likely will have little impact without U.S. support.

Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly. He said this is predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to important reforms, including president Mahmoud Abbas’s promise to hold general elections in 2026, in which Hamas could not take part, and the demilitarization of the Palestinian state.

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies

Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun—jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children like Mohammed al-Mutawaaq.

Canada’s recognition of Palestinian state ‘dangerously premature,’ Jewish groups say

“It is deeply concerning that the Canadian government does not link statehood recognition to the removal of Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages,” Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs CEO Noah Shack said Thursday. The CIJA represents Jewish Federations across Canada.

On Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada intends to recognize Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Conservatives Say Ottawa’s Palestine State Recognition ‘Sends the Wrong Message’

Conservatives say Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to recognise Palestinian statehood at the U.N. this September “sends the wrong message.”

In a statement issued July 30 following Carney’s announcement, the Conservatives said that agreeing to a Palestinian state in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel tells extremists “that violence and terror are effective tools for achieving political objectives.”

Canada’s plan to recognize Palestinian statehood prompts swift, divided reaction

A national Muslim advocacy group called Wednesday a “historic day” after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would formally recognize Palestinian statehood.

But a national Jewish organization said the decision was “deeply concerning” and would embolden the terrorist group Hamas.

With the announcement, Canada joins a growing list of countries around the world to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.

Star Wants Blood: The RCMP says it’s been looking into potential war crimes in the Israel-Hamas conflict for a year. Why has it seemed so quiet?

In February 2023, less than a year into the RCMP’s investigation into possible war crimes stemming from the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Cpl. Kate Walaszczyk was trying to “manage expectations.”

It can take years before these kinds of probes result in prosecutions, she told CBC News, but the initial steps are critical. The RCMP was first focused on preserving physical and digital evidence, as well as gathering victims’ stories.

“Let’s say a conflict finishes. Individuals don’t come forward about those allegations until years later, and then evidence is lost. Memories are lost, all those things are lost,” said Walaszczyk, who was described as an investigator in the RCMP’s Ukraine war crimes unit. “We need it to be robust, so that there aren’t gaps … When you don’t gather the evidence properly, these things fall apart. And then what’s the point?”

Diplomatic Terrorism?: France’s Recognition of an Imaginary Palestinian State

On 24 July 2025, France announced its decision to recognize the existence of a “Palestinian state” in September. President Emmanuel Macron portrayed this move as an act of “justice” and “peace.” In reality, however, this recognition constitutes a geopolitical fiction — contrary to international law, flagrantly at odds with the facts on the ground, and laden with profoundly harmful moral implications.

US allies break with Trump to force diplomatic shift on Gaza

As Canada joins France and the UK in announcing plans to recognise a Palestinian state, the US is standing firmly with Israel – but does Trump have a long-term plan for Gaza’s future?

Of all history’s declarations about the Middle East, one that may be less prominent in the global collective memory was in Tokyo in November 2023.

Then-US Secretary of State Antony Blinken laid out a series of principles for the “day after” the war in Gaza at a meeting of the G7, a group of the world’s most powerful countries.

Islamophobia Tsar says Mideast war is bringing back anti-Muslim tropes from 9/11

OTTAWA — Ottawa’s special representative on combating Islamophobia says she’s alarmed by a recent revival of decades-old tropes about Muslims supporting terrorist violence.

Amira Elghawaby also said Canadians should not be reluctant to speak out for the rights of one group because of a fear of being accused of ignoring the plight of another.

“In a country as pluralistic and as diverse as Canada, we should be able to get this right,” Elghawaby told The Canadian Press.

Casey Babb: Canada doesn’t need an antisemitism or Islamophobia czar

On July 17, Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, abruptly retired. Lyons, who served as Canada’s ambassador to Israel from 2016 to 2020, came into this role in October 2023 — just a week after Palestinian terrorists carried out their barbaric attacks in Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking over 250 hostages. While she was expected to hold the position for another few months, until October 2025, she decided “with a heavy heart,” to step down early.

With the position now vacant, the time has come to permanently dissolve the post — as well as the position of Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia. High paying jobs that don’t lead to results are bad. Ones that continue to divide people are even worse.

Carney will recognize Pallie State in September providing they maintain agreed upon charade

Canada plans to recognize Palestinian state in September, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September if the West Bank’s governing body agrees to certain conditions.

The prime minister said the Palestinian Authority must hold an election in 2026 and commit to other democratic reforms.

Carney’s announcement came after he spoke to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier Wednesday — and follows similar commitments from other allied countries in the past week.

The rot has set in.

Video of Mayor Olivia Chow welcoming well fed Gaza “refugees” to Toronto pulled from Instagram over online abuse

Mayor Olivia Chow says she’s been forced to remove a video she posted to social media in which she welcomed a Palestinian family to Toronto, after they faced a barrage of online abuse.

In a post to Instagram on Monday, Chow criticized Israel over the deepening crisis in Gaza, saying she supports “the Canadian government’s recent condemnation” of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “as the humanitarian disaster worsens.”

“Israel must allow Palestinians to access food, water and humanitarian aid. Famine should never be used as a weapon,” the mayor wrote in the post.

They look well fed.

Jewish father attacked by mob at Italian service station

A Jewish father and his six-year-old son were targeted by a mob on Sunday chanting “Free Palestine” and “murderers” at a service station near Milan, with the man eventually pushed to the floor and repeatedly kicked, in the latest of a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents across Europe.

According to the victim – a 52-year-old French Jew who lives in France and gave his name only as Elie– the incident began when a cashier shouted “Free Palestine”, upon noticing that he and his son were wearing kippahs.

Hamas’s Dream: Turning Palestinians Into a ‘Nation of Martyrs’

On October 24, 2023, senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad threatened that his Iran-backed terror group would carry out more massacres against Israelis — time and again until Israel was annihilated. Referring to the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel that resulted in the murder of more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, Hamad said:

“The Al-Aqsa Flood [the name Hamas uses to describe its October 7 slaughter] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth…. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”
