""We won't be joining this initiative," said Chancellor Friedrich Merz from the governing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in August when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited."
""We do not consider the conditions for state recognition to be fulfilled in any way at present. Recognition must be the final step in a peace process that results in a two-state solution," he said."
""a reward for terror""
On Monday, September 22, a decisive moment will take place on New York's East River at the United Nations General Assembly. France, Canada and Belgium intend to recognize Palestine as a state, and the United Kingdom is also likely to take the step. The goal is to exert pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war and initiate a new peace process. Almost 150 of the UN's 193 members already recognize Palestine as a state. The United States and Israel reject recognition, with Israel's prime minister calling it "a reward for terror." Germany will not recognize Palestine in the short term, stating that conditions for recognition are not fulfilled and that recognition must be the final step in a peace process that results in a two-state solution. Gaza casualties have been reported at around 65,000 by the Hamas-led Gazan Health Ministry.
