The Canadian government has acknowledged the recent call from the United Nations court for an end to Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Canadian government stated that it has taken note of the International Court of Justice’s ruling, which called for an immediate halt to the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
The court’s decision, which was issued on Tuesday, stated that the Israeli settlements are a violation of international law and urged all member states of the United Nations to comply with the ruling.
The Canadian government reiterated its support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and emphasized the need for both parties to engage in meaningful negotiations to achieve a lasting peace.
Canada has long been a vocal advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and has consistently called for an end to the construction of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.
The statement also highlighted Canada’s commitment to the principles of international law and its support for the work of the International Court of Justice.
The Canadian government’s response comes amid growing tensions in the region, with recent clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem and the ongoing violence in Gaza.
The United Nations has also expressed concern over the situation, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling for an immediate de-escalation of tensions and a return to negotiations.
The Canadian government’s acknowledgement of the UN court’s ruling is a significant step in reaffirming its commitment to promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
As the situation continues to unfold, Canada will continue to closely monitor developments and work towards a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
