Carney added that the Palestinian Authority’s President Mahmoud Abbas assured him that his administration will hold long-delayed elections in 2026 in which Hamas will “play no part.”

“(Abbas) has also committed to not militarizing the state of Palestine,” Carney added.

1. Donald Trump, American asshole, recognizes land for condos.

2. Depends on some conditions, some of which may be hard or unlikely to be met. But very doable. . . nt

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.

"Preserving a two-state solution means standing with all people who choose peace over violence or terrorism, and honouring their innate desire for the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states as the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future," Carney said during a news conference on Wednesday.

6. Oh. Well, bang goes that then.

8. That's absurd

The article makes clear that the reason they are doing this is because of Israel's behavior in Gaza.

13. No where does it exclude Gaza

They simply say they will work with the Palestinian Authority. Not working with Hamas, whatever is left of it, makes sense because they are terrorists who have done horrific damage, Oct 7 being one major example.

The international community is speaking out now precisely because of Gaza.

10. He said PA not Hamas.

I’m assuming if Gaza got rid of Hamas maybe.

12. Don't you think it makes sense they wouldn't deal with Hamas?

They are terrorists, after all.

11. This mess should be settled internationally with negotiations run by the UN.

That's why the UN was founded to stop the madness of the nationalists, dogmatists, and ideologues who resort to violence in the name of some cause.
