Members of Toronto’s Palestinian and Jewish communities are reacting with mixed feelings after Canada officially recognized the state of Palestine Sunday.
Canada, along with international partners, promised to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, according to a statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office released Sunday morning.
Canada’s recognition of Palestinians’ right to self-determination and belief in human values is a crucial step forward in bringing about peace, says Bashar Al-Shawwa, a Palestinian activist in Toronto.
