Canadian MPs collaborate with Australia and New Zealand to support Palestinian statehood

Canadian MPs are collaborating with their counterparts in Australia and New Zealand to advocate for the recognition of Palestinian statehood. This initiative aims to build on previous joint statements from the three countries regarding issues in Gaza and Israel. NDP MP Heather McPherson is leading the effort, emphasizing the importance of a united front among the three nations. The group is recruiting more MPs for a virtual conference to discuss strategies for advancing their cause. The push for recognition comes amid significant protests and political pressure in each country, particularly related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. MPs from all three nations are seeking to include a broader range of political voices in their initiative.
