Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly speaks with reporters on Parliament Hill. In her remarks, the minister comments on the passage in the House of Commons of an amended version of an NDP motion concerning the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. While the original NDP motion urged Canada to officially recognize Palestine as a state, the amended version calls for the federal government to actively pursue the establishment of a Palestinian state as part of a negotiated two-state solution.
