Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand on Thursday confirmed she would attend a conference in New York City on the two-state solution, where she will meet with French officials to discuss Macron's upcoming recognition of Palestine.
In a statement Thursday evening, Carney said Israel should no longer oversee the delivery of aid in the region. “Israel's control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations,” he said. “Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians.”
He added, “This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law.”
The Prime Minister’s remarks came shortly after French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state during the United Nations General Assembly this September.
“True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine,” Macron said in a message posted on X. “I will make this solemn announcement at the United Nations General Assembly next September.”
Carney said Canada supports a two-state solution “which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.”
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand on Thursday confirmed she would attend a conference in New York City on the two-state solution, where she will meet with French officials to discuss Macron's upcoming recognition of Palestine.
“We need to ensure that Hamas lays down its arms and does not participate in any way in the governance of an eventual two-state solution,” Anand said.
Anand and 24 other foreign ministers issued a joint statement on Monday calling Israel's current control over aid distribution “dangerous.” The group, which includes officials from France, Japan, the UK, and the EU commissioner for crisis management, said “the war in Gaza must end now,” and described it as “horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid.” The figure is based on data from the UN Human Rights Office.
The statement also condemned Hamas for continuing to hold Israeli hostages captured since the October 7 attack.
