On September 21, 2025, the governments of Canada and Australia officially recognized the State of Palestine, Kursiv media reported. This decision was announced in coordination with allies ahead of the UN General Assembly week.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an official statement. Ottawa assessed the recognition of the State of Palestine as part of international efforts aimed at preserving the possibility of a "two-state solution." The statement calls on the Palestinian people to cooperate towards a peaceful future.
The statement also noted that this step strengthens the position of peace supporters, not HAMAS. It should not be interpreted as recognition or encouragement of terrorism.
Canada also stated that it will continue to support Israel, its people, and its security. This security can be guaranteed through the "two-state solution."
Australia also issued an official statement. The decision was announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong. They assessed this step as part of diplomatic initiatives within the UN framework.
