Multiple Countries Recognize Palestinian Statehood

Published on 8.1.25

Multiple countries are set to recognize Palestine as a state during the upcoming UN General Assembly session, with Canada, Malta, and France making official announcements. The UK has announced its intention to recognize Palestine but with conditions, while 10 European Union countries have already recognized the state of Palestine. Israel's plan to annex the West Bank has sparked international concern, with Canada and France planning to recognize a Palestinian state before the UN. The US supports Israel, while Palestinians welcome international support for their decades-long quest for statehood. Recognition may strengthen Palestinian negotiating position in the long term, but its impact is uncertain. Some countries, like Australia, support a two-state solution where Israel and Palestine coexist in peace and security within internationally recognized borders.
