UK, Canada and Australia formally recognize the State of Palestine

Britain, Canada and Australia announced on Sunday that they would formally recognize the State of Palestine. This decision further isolates the Trump administration and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Both Trump and Netanyahu have opposed the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Several other countries, including France, are expected to also recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly this week. Australian Prime Minister Albanese said that as the Palestinian Authority fulfills its reform commitments, further measures, such as establishing diplomatic relations and opening embassies, will be considered. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau accused Netanyahu's government of "systematically working to ensure that the prospect of a Palestinian state is never realized."

British Prime Minister Starmer said on Sunday that the UK made this decision to preserve the possibility of resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict through a two-state solution in the future.

For a long time, the Trump administration and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have strongly opposed the establishment of a Palestinian state. Now, the recognition by the UK, Canada and Australia has undoubtedly made the US and Israel increasingly isolated in international public opinion. The shift in positions among America's traditional allies in the Middle East indicates that the US's unilateral dominance in the Israel-Palestine issue is gradually being weakened, and the international community is seeking new paths to resolve the Israel-Palestine issue.

From the perspective of advancing the "two-state solution," this is a crucial step. The international community generally believes that the "two-state solution" is the only realistic way to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict and achieve peace in the Middle East, and recognizing the State of Palestine is one of the important steps in implementing this solution. The recognition by the UK, Canada and Australia has injected new momentum into the "two-state solution," further confirming the Palestinian state's status in the international arena, and bringing the Palestinian people closer to their dream of having an independent sovereign state.
