Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the 80th Session of the United Nations in September, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters on Monday following a Cabinet meeting.
The decision means Albanese joins the leaders of Canada, France, and the United Kingdom, who recently announced that they would be recognizing Palestinian statehood at the major U.N. gathering. New Zealand’s government has also indicated that it is considering the same move.
