The Palestinian ambassador to Canada says she feels Ottawa is on the brink of officially recognizing statehood for her people, as she also takes note of tougher language from Canada on Israel’s actions in Gaza.

I would agree with Mona about her assessment regarding Canada being closer to recognizing Palestine officially as a state, much like many other countries currently who do not officially do so while still backing the Two state solution.

This was supposed to be brought up in the UN Conference hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, which has been postponed due to the fighting that broke out between Israel and Iran, so hopefully we can get that back on track as soon as possible as official recognition by the UN would put Israel into a worse position than they already find themselves in, and allow Palestine to finally have a seat at the table like they deserve.

From there, hopefully we can see a swifter resolution because Peace before recognition of statehood is simply not very likely to ever happen.

Fighting didn't break out between Israel and Iran. Israel attacked Iran as a proxy for the USA.

Up until Israel attacked Iran directly Israel had been fighting Iranian proxies, and repelling Iranian rockets.

It is quite obvious that Israel and the US coordinated the attacks against Iran, but they are long standing enemies, and "fighting broke out between Israel and Iran" is objectively accurate because they are not officially at war.

The proxies defending against genocide/land appropriation of the rest of the Levant.
