The Canadian government is weighing whether to recognize Palestinian statehood, and whether that recognition would come with conditions, according to a government source, CBC reports.

No decision has been made yet, the source says, but Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to hold a virtual cabinet meeting Wednesday afternoon, at which time the situation in the Middle East will be discussed.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday the UK will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, allows the UN to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace. 

The two leaders spoke Tuesday, according to Carney's office, about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the UK's statement on the recognition of a Palestinian state.

Last week, Carney had said Canada will continue to support a two-state solution with "a free and viable Palestine living in peace and side-by-side in peace and security with Israel."
