Montreal MP Anthony Housefather has announced that he will stay in the Liberal caucus, despite his intense anger over a motion passed by the House of Commons regarding the Israel-Hamas war. Housefather expressed his frustration in a written statement, but stated that his core values align with the Liberal party and he believes his greatest value to Canadians is advocating for the centrist classical Liberal party.
Montreal MP Anthony Housefather said Friday he will remain in the Liberal caucus, despite the intense anger he still feels about a motion passed by the House of Commons last month.
“But I also know that my core values remain Liberal ones and after serious reflection I believe my greatest value to Canadians is staying in caucus to advocate for the centrist classical Liberal party that I believe in.” He said Trudeau asked him to work directly with him to address the problem, including when it comes to policing, antisemitism on university campuses and creating safe zones between demonstrations and community buildings.The Israel-Hamas war will reach the six-month mark on Sunday.
Housefather, along with most major Canadian Jewish organizations, criticized the motion as one-sided, saying it would reward Hamas for the Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war. The final motion was very close to Canada’s existing Middle East policy. It recognized Palestinian statehood as part of a two-state solution within a peace process in the Middle East.
