保守党加拿大政府竟然是那九分之一。
UN member nations voted 138-9 in favour of recognizing Palestine, despite warnings of disruptions to peace talks from Israel and its western allies. Forty-one nations abstained from voting.
Canada and the United States stood with Israel in vehemently opposing raising Palestine’s status at the UN. Also voting “no” were the Czech Republic, Panama and the Pacific island nations of Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau.
Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told the assembly that Canada “has long opposed unilateral action by both sides,” and said outstanding issues between Palestine and Israel are “too complicated” to be resolved with a vote in the UN.
Baird said Canada supports a “negotiated settlement” between the two sides.
