The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Bilateral relations The history of Canada - Palestine ties is complicated. Various circumstances, including Canada's colonial legacy, foreign relations, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict , have shaped it. During the Ottoman Empire 's rule over Palestine , which lasted until World War I , Canada did not have a significant relationship with the region. However, following the war, the British Empire gained control over Palestine, and Canada became a member of the League of Nations , which granted Britain the mandate to administer Palestine. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of the partition of Palestine , leading to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Canada endorsed the partition plan. However, Canada's relationship with Palestine has been more complicated. After the 1967 Arab-Israeli War , Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip , territories that were recognized by the international community as part of Palestine. Canada initially supported a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but over time, its policies shifted towards a more pro-Israel stance.1 In recent years, Canada has continued to maintain diplomatic relations with Israel and has been criticized by some for not taking a more active role in supporting Palestinian rights. However, Canada has also provided humanitarian aid to Palestinians and has expressed support for a two-state solution, and does not recognize West Bank settlements as part of Israel. The Canadian government recognizes the Palestinian Authority (PA) as the representative of the Palestinian people and has maintained contact with the PA since its establishment in 1994. Canada has also provided financial assistance to the PA in support of institution-building, economic development, and humanitarian assistance. Canada is also one of the few countries in the international community, alongside the United States, Israel, and the Compact of Free Association states, to consistently vote against pro-Palestine and anti-Israel resolutions in the UN.2 "Canada pledges $62M aid for Palestinian refugee agency" . anews .
