LONDON — Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a state of Palestine on Sunday, reversing decades of unwillingness to accept Palestinians as a sovereign nation until their conflict with Israel was permanently settled and breaking sharply with the United States.
The three nations became the biggest countries to recognize Palestine, acting in coordination with France, which is expected to make a similar declaration on Monday at the United Nations.
Their embrace of Palestinian statehood is a momentous shift in long-standing diplomatic positions and reflects the grave consternation in many capitals over Israel’s war in Gaza.
Britain, Canada and France, the first members of the G-7 major economies to take such a step, are some of the biggest traditional Israel supporters — and U.S. allies — to recognize Palestine.
