The battle between Israel and Hamas continues in the Gaza Strip for almost two years. The human crisis has deepened due to water and food crisis and attacks of refugee camps there. Due to this, international pressure on Israel is increasing.

2. Hamas will not participate in elections and governance. (Hamas is considered a terrorist organization)
3. Demilterization of Palestinian state, ie weapons and fighter capabilities will be made free area.
Carney said that he has spoken directly to Palestinian President Mahmood Abbas and has got consent on these conditions. He said that what is happening in Gaza is like a crime against humanity.
He accused Israel that he was not allowing international organizations to give relief materials, causing the situation to worse.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 60 thousand people have been killed so far. Of these, 154 people, including 89 children, died of starvation. Thousands of people have become homeless.
Carney said that the suffering of common people in Gaza is now out of tolerance. To delay anymore, there will be injustice to humanity.
Carney also announced to provide financial assistance
Canada has announced a 1 million Canadian dollars (about US $ 7.2 million) to Palestinian Authority. With this, the state structure will be prepared in future. Also, Canada has also declared a $ 30 million humanitarian aid.
In this process, Canada is taking help of Jordan and other regional countries, so that the needy will help.
Israel condemns Canada’s decision
Israel has strongly condemned this announcement of Canada. Israeli ambassador in Canada said, said, said, “
It is like rewarding terrorists. This will increase the pressure on us, but we will not bow down to this pressure.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry also issued a statement saying that the decision would harm the struggle and efforts to release the hostages in Gaza.
Canada’s opposition, Conservative Party also criticized the decision. He said that this step gives the wrong message after the October 7 terrorist attacks.
The party had openly supported Israel in the election campaign and also talked about evacuating pro -Palestine protesters from the country.
There are differences on this issue in Mark Carney’s Liberal Party. Some MPs support Israel, while some were demanding recognition of Palestine.

Italy PM protested at recognizing
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Miloni opposed the increasing demand for Palestine to recognize Palestine as a country in Europe on 26 July and called it a wrong step.
Miloni’s statement came after the announcement of French President Emmanuel Macron, in which he said that France would recognize Palestine as a state at the UN Mahasabha in September.
Israel and America strongly criticized this statement. Apart from Italy, Germany is also in favor of recognizing Palestine as a state soon. Germany says that its focus is on two state solution.
Britain banned 2 Israeli ministers
Last month, the British government banned two right-wing ministers of Netanyahu government, Itar Ben-Gwir and Bezlel Smotrich. The action was taken on charges of inciting violence against Palestinians. Britain took this step in association with Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway.
