OTTAWA — Canadian politicians are pushing back on the idea of clearing out Palestinians from the Gaza Strip as an Israeli minister suggests some of them could be sent to Canada.
In a post on X this morning, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says Canada"previously expressed willingness to take in residents from Gaza" and should take them, noting Ottawa already has a"structured immigration program." Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada supports self-determination for Palestinians, which includes not"being forcibly displaced from Gaza."
Joly says Canada is still calling for a two-state solution."Canada’s long-standing position on Gaza has not changed," she wrote Wednesday on the platform X.The Gaza Strip was established as a Palestinian territory after Palestinians were displaced across the region during the creation of the State of Israel.
