Canada rejects Trump Jerusalem move
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCanada joins the chorus of countries rejecting the US administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“Canada’s longstanding position is that the status of Jerusalem can be resolved only as part of a general settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli dispute,” Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland says.
‘‘We are strongly committed to the goal of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, including the creation of a Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace and security with Israel. We call for calm and continue to support the building of conditions necessary for the parties to find a solution.’’
— Raphael Ahren
