STATEMENT BY MINISTER MACKAY ON THE MIDDLE EAST

Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay today issued the following statement, reaffirming Canada’s commitment to the goal of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East:

“Any assistance to a new Palestinian government will require that government’s commitment to the principle of non-violence, recognition of Israel and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations, including the Quartet’s Roadmap for Peace.

“Canada is currently providing humanitarian aid in the region through various 麻豆APP and non-governmental agencies. However, all funding is subject to further review as the situation develops and future funding will depend on the statements and actions of a new government. During this interim period prior to the formation of a new government, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has Canada’s full support.”
