France, Canada and UK pledge stronger Gaza support at UN General Assembly

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 06:14 · 1 min read

French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham have all used the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to call for greater action on Gaza and push for Palestinian statehood. Macron condemned Israel's restrictions on humanitarian aid as "a shame for us all," while Carney announced C$100 million ($71m) in aid for Palestinians — 80 percent for direct humanitarian relief and the remainder for peace and security initiatives, including training Palestinian police in the West Bank. Burnham warned that failure to back a two-state solution with concrete action would "corrode trust" in global diplomacy, and announced UK trade restrictions on goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements, including opposition to the E1 settlement project, which would fragment the West Bank and sever it from East Jerusalem.
