Britain, Canada, and Australia announced their recognition of a Palestinian state, despite objections from the United States, Interfax reports, citing the Associated Press.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney wrote on social media that "Canada has no illusions that recognition will solve all problems." His statement asserted that recognition of a Palestinian state is linked to the principles of self-determination and fundamental human rights.
In a statement, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: "Australia recognises the long-standing legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians for a state of their own."
Later, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made an address, declaring recognition of a Palestinian state and the resurgence of "hopes for peace for Palestinians and Israelis, and for a two-state solution."
At the same time, Starmer emphasized that Hamas is a terrorist organization with no future and no role in the Palestinian government. He promised that London would impose new sanctions on Hamas leaders in the coming weeks.
Several governments, including Britain, France, Canada and Australia, have previously announced they will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly this month.
