Canada joins UK in announcing it will recognise Palestinian state - under certain conditions

Canada is planning to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September, the country's prime minister has said.

Mark Carney's announcement comes a day after the UK said it will recognise Palestine as a state unless Israel meets several conditions.

France became the first G7 country to announce the move last week - while Ireland, Spain and Norway all officially recognised a Palestinian state last year.
