Two state solution is the only way. Both Hamas and the Netanyahu regime cannot be a part of it.

Recognize Palestine as UK? Like back to the Palestinian Mandate era? ...oh nvm.

Just in time for there to be no state left to recognise.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


New Democrats are calling on the Liberal government to have Canada formally recognize Palestine as a state, saying it would help advance peace in the Middle East.

McPherson will table a private member's motion in the House of Commons that would recognize Palestinian territories as a sovereign state.

The Opposition Conservatives did not respond right away when asked if they would endorse the motion, while Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly's office did not directly answer the question.

For decades, the Canadian government has endorsed the eventual creation of a Palestinian country that exists in peace alongside Israel — the essence of what's known as the two-state solution.

Doing so would be a necessary step in pushing back against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing efforts to thwart such an outcome, she said.

South Africa joined those calls following a January ruling by the International Court of Justice, which ordered Israel to prevent a genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
