Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada may send Canadian peacekeeping troops as part of a multi-national “stabilization force” to a future state of Palestine if all Israeli hostages are released and Hamas has no role in the future state.
Carney made the comments Sept. 23 while speaking on the sidelines of the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly. On Sept. 21, Carney had said Canada would be part of a “co-ordinated international effort to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution,” and criticized the Israeli government for “working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established.”
