OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada is still committed to a two-state solution to create peace in the Middle East, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday, reiterating the country’s long-time position in the wake of deadly Hamas attacks against Israel earlier this month.
“Canada remains firm and steadfast in our commitment to a two-state solution,” Trudeau told reporters in Toronto. “The world and the region needs a peaceful, safe, prosperous, viable Palestinian state alongside a peaceful, prosperous, democratic, safe… Israel.”
