On Wednesday, during the 2025 Nato summit, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney appeared in an interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN, where he made confusing remarks about the need for “a Zionist Palestinian state”, triggering backlash online.
Amanpour asked Carney about his vision for peace in the Middle East, specifically concerning the issue of a Palestinian state, where its indigenous people can live in harmony and peace.
In response, Carney said that “in working on a path to a Palestinian state, living side by side in security with Israel… a Zionist Palestinian state if you will, that recognises the right of Israel to exist, not just to exist, but to prosper. We can’t have peace unless we move towards that.”
