OTTAWA — Members of Parliament are set to vote today on an NDP motion calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to"officially recognize the state of Palestine."
But Anthony Housefather, a Liberal from Montreal, says the motion calls for a list of measures that are"hostile to Israel." Housefather said on social media over the weekend that the motion fails to include a demand that Hamas surrender and no longer rule Gaza.Trudeau has repeatedly said that Canada advocates for a two-state solution, but his government has stopped short of officially recognizing a Palestinian state.
The New Democrats take note of the ensuing humanitarian crisis in the motion, which is to be debated in the afternoon before an evening vote.
