Recently, Canada’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development recommended that Canada recognize a Palestinian state without requiring direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. While well-intentioned, this approach diverges from Canada’s longstanding policy of advocating for a negotiated, fair, and sustainable solution. Such a move would not only complicate peace prospects in the Middle East but would also undermine Canada’s position as a principled advocate of diplomacy and negotiated conflict resolution.
