Ottawa has been speaking with like-minded countries about recognizing a Palestinian state, a government official told a committee of parliamentarians studying the quickest path toward such a declaration Thursday afternoon.
“We’re taking notes, we’re talking to each other, we’re weighing the considerations as a group of very like-minded countries,” said Alexandre Lévêque, assistant deputy minister for Europe, the Middle East and Arctic Branch.
Lévêque would not name any of the countries in question, citing the confidential nature of diplomatic conversations.
No one believes a word you say. Everyone knows you lust for the Islamist vote bloc.
