Quick Summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will provide $100 million in new aid for Palestinians, including $80 million in humanitarian assistance and development funding for security initiatives. The pledge was made during the United Nations General Assembly to support efforts towards a two-state solution amid ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. This new commitment follows over $600 million in previous aid since the Israel-Gaza war began in October 2023, though recent parliamentary documents detail damage inflicted on Canadian-funded projects by Israeli military actions and settlers.

Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged $100 million in aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank during a United Nations General Assembly meeting. The funding includes $80 million in humanitarian aid and development funding aimed at security initiatives, including police training in the occupied West Bank. Carney acknowledged that Palestinians face "immense human suffering" while Israelis confront threats from Hamas and Iran.

In August 2023, Canada also joined Britain and France to restrict imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, a move criticized by some as undermining diplomatic relations with Israel. Meanwhile, B’nai Brith Canada reported numerous instances of antisemitic content in Palestinian educational materials that year.
