Canada's rushed recognition of Palestinian statehood represents dangerous appeasement to domestic pressure rather than responsible diplomacy. Without functioning institutions, unified governance, or genuine commitment to peace, this rewards radicalism while ignoring reality. True statehood requires more than declarations — it demands demilitarization, civic infrastructure, and leaders who choose coexistence over conflict.
There is a 50% chance Palestine will become a full UN member state by January 2042, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
