Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at the United Nations General Assembly that Canada is pledging $100 million in new aid for Palestine, consisting of $80 million in humanitarian aid and development funding for security initiatives such as West Bank police training. This funding brings Ottawa's total aid to Palestinian civilians to over $600 million since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023. Additionally, Canada recently joined France and the United Kingdom in banning imports of goods from West Bank settlements to protest actions like Israel's planned E1 settlement, which critics say would split the West Bank in two.
