Canada's Parliament Calls for International Action on Palestine

Motion Calls for International Community to Work Towards Palestinian State

House of Commons Passes Non-Binding Resolution Amid Controversy

In a significant move, Canada's parliament has passed a non-binding motion calling on the international community to work towards a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that leads to the creation of a Palestinian state.

The motion, which was put forward by the New Democratic Party (NDP), passed late Monday after a heated debate in the House of Commons. The motion originally called for Canada to recognize the State of Palestine, but was amended to call for international action instead.

The vote came amid widespread acrimony, with the issue of the conflict in Gaza spilling into the Canadian parliament's debate. The Liberals and NDP reached a last-minute deal to amend the motion in order to gain support from the Conservative Party.

The motion is non-binding, meaning that it does not require the government to take any specific action. However, it sends a strong message to the international community that Canada supports a two-state solution to the conflict.
