“Israel rejects the declaration of the Prime Minister of Canada,” said Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement. “The change in the position of the Canadian government at this time is a reward for Hamas and harms the efforts to achieve a high fire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages.”
Carney’s announcement occurred after France said last week that he would recognize a Palestinian state and one day after Great Britain said it would be the State at the UN if the Israel-Ahamas war in Gaza had not stopped by then.

“Canada condemns the fact that the Israeli government has allowed a catastrophe to develop in Gaza,” said Carney.
The White House also opposes the decision to recognize a Palestinian state, saying that President Donald Trump agrees with Israel that would be “reward Hamas.”
“As the president declared, he would be rewarding Hamas if he recognizes a Palestinian state, and does not believe they should be rewarded,” said a White House official. “Then he is not going to do that. President Trump’s approach is to make people feed [in Gaza]. “
Trump also wrote on social networks that Canada’s decision to recognize a Palestinian State “will make it difficult for us to make a commercial agreement with the issue.”
