Ley’s Furious Move After PM’s Palestine Call
Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Portugal joined about 140 countries recognizing Palestine to promote a two-state solution amid the Gaza humanitarian crisis, officials said.
- On September 21, 2025, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia formally recognized the State of Palestine ahead of the UN Palestine Conference in New York.
- This recognition followed prolonged conflict and humanitarian crises in Gaza, including relentless bombardment and escalating civilian suffering amid stalled peace efforts.
- The announcements aim to revive hope for a two-state solution and bring Palestinian independence closer amid international calls for ceasefire and diplomacy.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, while Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir pledged to advance sovereignty over the West Bank and called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority, describing it as an essential reaction.
- The recognition may influence global diplomacy as other countries consider similar steps this week, though the decision also drew criticism from U.S. Congress members warning it contradicts longstanding policies.

They call the decision of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal to recognize Palestine and its aspiration to consolidate an independent State a historic fact.
