Canada’s recognition of Palestinian state will likely have minimal impact without U.S. support, analysts say
July 31, 2025
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.

The federal government’s decision to lift most retaliatory tariffs on American goods is expected to deliver some relief to consumers, although experts watching the trade war say the “buy Canada” movement may continue to limit demand for U.S. products. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday that Ottawa will mirror U.S. tariffs by only imposing them on goods that are not compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which he said was designed to reset trade negotiations with President Donald Trump. The change will take effect on Sept. 1.
