U.K., Canada and Australia recognize a Palestinian state, despite U.S. opposition
Several of America’s closest allies — including Canada, the U.K., and Australia — have taken the historic step of formally recognizing Palestine as a state. Leaders framed the move as a commitment to peace and a two-state solution, while stressing it does not reward terrorism or weaken support for Israel. Palestinians welcomed the recognition but called for concrete action, while Israel sharply condemned the decision. The announcement comes just ahead of the UN General Assembly, where more nations are expected to follow. Chandelis Duster with NPR has the full story.
