Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly this September.

Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement today in Ottawa after holding a virtual meeting with his cabinet.

Carney says Palestinian statehood depends on elections next year that do not involve Hamas.

The prime minister's announcement comes after British Prime Minister Keir (KEER') Starmer said the U-K would officially recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not implement a ceasefire and drastically scale up aid in the Gaza Strip.

Multiple humanitarian groups say starvation is taking place in Gaza.
