Canadian MPs rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to evacuate Gaza of Palestinians, at a time when an Israeli minister pointed to the possibility of sending some of them to Canada.

Canada's Official Position:

Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly confirmed that Canada rejects any proposal calling for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza or the establishment of additional settlements. She added that such inflammatory rhetoric undermines the chances of achieving lasting peace.

Israeli Statements:

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz indicated that countries like Canada may be "legally obligated" to accept Palestinians. He stated, "If Canada and other countries oppose our operations in Gaza, they need to be prepared to welcome Gaza residents."

Canadian Reactions:

Canadian MPs expressed their rejection of the idea of evacuating Gaza and resettling Palestinians in Canada. They emphasized that the solution should be peaceful and guarantee the rights of Palestinians to their land.

Background of the U.S. Proposal:

U.S. President Donald Trump had proposed that the United States take control of Gaza and redevelop it, while relocating Palestinian residents to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan. This proposal faced widespread criticism from both U.S. allies and adversaries alike.

International Position:

Numerous Arab and Western countries, including Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, rejected this proposal, considering it a threat to regional peace. European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France also affirmed that this proposal violates international law.

These developments come amid escalating tensions in the region, as the international community continues to seek peaceful solutions that ensure the rights of Palestinians and achieve stability in the Middle East.
