Le Canada s’apprête à reconnaitre l’État de Palestine

Par :Félix Côté

Mark Carney a annoncé que, lors de l’Assemblée générale de l’ONU en septembre, le Canada reconnaitra la Palestine en tant qu’État.

Il a affirmé que l’approche traditionnelle d’un processus de paix visant une entente négociée entre Israël et l’Autorité palestinienne «n’est plus tenable» en raison de:

  • la menace persistante du Hamas contre Israël;
  • la colonisation croissante en Cisjordanie et dans Jérusalem-Est;
  • la violence envers les Palestiniens.

Il y a cependant des conditions à la reconnaissance annoncée par Carney. L’Autorité palestinienne devra s’engager à:

  • tenir des élections l’an prochain; 
  • ne pas militariser l’État; 
  • écarter le Hamas du gouvernement.

[L'article Le Canada s’apprête à reconnaitre l’État de Palestine a d'abord été publié dans InfoBref.]
