As Canada joins France and the UK in announcing plans to recognise a Palestinian state, the US is standing firmly with Israel – but does Trump have a long-term plan for Gaza’s future?
Of all history’s declarations about the Middle East, one that may be less prominent in the global collective memory was in Tokyo in November 2023.
Then-US Secretary of State Antony Blinken laid out a series of principles for the “day after” the war in Gaza at a meeting of the G7, a group of the world’s most powerful countries.
OTTAWA — Ottawa’s special representative on combating Islamophobia says she’s alarmed by a recent revival of decades-old tropes about Muslims supporting terrorist violence.
Amira Elghawaby also said Canadians should not be reluctant to speak out for the rights of one group because of a fear of being accused of ignoring the plight of another.
“In a country as pluralistic and as diverse as Canada, we should be able to get this right,” Elghawaby told The Canadian Press.

I am the grandchild of four immigrants. On one side, southern Italian peasants from small, scorched villages where life was bitter and short. They came to Canada with no English, no status and no illusions. They worked, they scraped, they built.
On the other side was a family that was expelled from Egypt — cast out, humiliated and dispossessed by the country they called home. They arrived here not to be celebrated but to be left alone, to rebuild in peace, far from the politics that ruined their lives. That is the blood that runs through me. And I will not let it be used as a cudgel against my reason.
As we already reported, Jette Nietzard, national spokesperson of the Green Youth Party, has hinted at the possibility of armed resistance if Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) manages to enter government after the 2029 federal elections. Her statements, made in a podcast by the public broadcaster RBB and repeated in an interview with the weekly Freitag, have sparked outrage due to their political and social implications.
According to new data from Statistics Canada, young Canadians are facing a historically challenging job market. In June, the unemployment rate for young people (aged 15-24) was 14.2%, up from 13.5% in June 2024, which was already a bad year in historical terms. By comparison, in the pre-pandemic years from 2017 to 2019, the average youth unemployment rate in June averaged 10.9%.

Only one in 20 muggings in London were solved last year, according to a report that reveals the extent of the crime epidemic plaguing the capital.
The study by the Policy Exchange think tank also showed that only one in 170 snatch thefts, such as watches or phones being stolen on the street, were solved by the Metropolitan Police.

‘If I had the opportunity to apologize to Mr. Lee I would’: Final girl to be sentenced in fatal swarming of Kenneth Lee
The last girl to face sentencing in the death of Kenneth Lee said she takes full responsibility for her part in the swarming attack.
After her tearful apology in Superior Court on Wednesday, the now 17-year-old girl learned it is unlikely she will return to jail with the Crown agreeing she has served her time already.
A student has been found guilty of attacking two female police officers during a large violent disturbance at Manchester Airport.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was charged with assaulting the Greater Manchester Police officers during the fracas on 23 July last year, with mobile phone footage of the incident being widely shared on social media.
Following a three-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court, Amaaz was convicted of assaulting PC Lydia Ward, causing actual bodily harm, and the assault of emergency worker PC Ellie Cook.
New footage of one of the police officers who was assaulted and had her nose broken in last year’s Manchester Airport attack.
Remember when the Left were crying “Racism!” and demanding the officers be sacked for ‘police brutality’?https://t.co/y1XAKtzRf8

U.S. President Donald Trump took to his social media platform just after midnight on Thursday to say he is not pleased with Canada announcing it will recognize a Palestinian state in September if the West Bank’s governing body agrees to make certain commitments.
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!”
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed earlier on Wednesday that trade negotiations have not been finalized just two days ahead of the deadline.
Some premiers expressed support for closer trade ties with China last week as a way to reduce Canada’s reliance on the United States amid rising tariff tensions. There have also been recent newspaper commentaries echoing Beijing’s position that Canada should forge a closer relationship with China.
Some observers say there appears to be forces pushing Canadian politicians toward China amid tensions with Washington. Catherine Swift, president of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada, says profit may be a driving factor as corporations back closer ties with Beijing for access to economic opportunities and lower costs.
In the weeks surrounding Trump’s inauguration, the left-wing media insisted the administration’s effort to remove trans troops from the military would weaken the force — some outlets fearmongered that up to 15,000 service members would be booted. But numbers recently obtained by journalist Chris Bray from the Department of Defense indicate that only four “transgender servicemembers” have been “removed from the military so far under the new Trump administration policy.”
