“(Abbas) has also committed to not militarizing the state of Palestine,” Carney added.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September if the West Bank's governing body agrees to certain conditions.

The prime minister said the Palestinian Authority must hold an election in 2026 and commit to other democratic reforms.

"Preserving a two-state solution means standing with all people who choose peace over violence or terrorism, and honouring their innate desire for the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states as the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future," Carney said during a news conference on Wednesday.

The article makes clear that the reason they are doing this is because of Israel's behavior in Gaza.

They simply say they will work with the Palestinian Authority. Not working with Hamas, whatever is left of it, makes sense because they are terrorists who have done horrific damage, Oct 7 being one major example.

The international community is speaking out now precisely because of Gaza.
