Former senior Canadian diplomats urge Ottawa to impose ‚robust‘ sanctions on Israel

It also says a high civilian death toll in Lebanon suggests Israel is violating international law. Israel says the campaign is targeting Hezbollah.

“While Canada recognizes Israel’s legitimate security concerns regarding Hezbollah, the razing of entire towns and the high civilian death toll is a serious violation of international law,” reads the letter, which was signed by 190 former diplomats who held high-ranking positions.

It follows on a similar letter issued last July that demanded Canada halt all arms trade with Israel.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada’s recognition of the State of Palestine

The current Israeli government is working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established. It has pursued an unrelenting policy of settlement expansion in the West Bank, which is illegal under international law. Its sustained assault in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of civilians, displaced well over one million people, and caused a devastating and preventable famine in violation of international law. It is now the avowed policy of the current Israeli government that ‘there will be no Palestinian state’.

It is in this context that Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of a peaceful future for both the State of Palestine and the State of Israel. Canada does so as part of a co-ordinated international effort to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution. While Canada is under no illusions that this recognition is a panacea, this recognition is firmly aligned with the principles of self-determination and fundamental human rights reflected in the United Nations Charter, and the consistent policy of Canada for generations.

Auch Kanada stellt Anerkennung PalÀstinas in Aussicht

Die Entscheidung sei von Kanadas „langjĂ€hriger“ Überzeugung von einer Zweistaatenlösung im israelisch-palĂ€stinensischen Konflikt geprĂ€gt, sagte Carney zur BegrĂŒndung. Unter dem Begriff Zweistaatenlösung wird verstanden, dass Israel und ein unabhĂ€ngiger PalĂ€stinenserstaat friedlich Seite an Seite existieren.

DĂ©claration conjointe des dirigeants de la France, du Royaume-Uni et du Canada sur la situation Ă  Gaza et en Cisjordanie.

IsraĂ«l a subi un attentat atroce le 7 octobre. Nous avons toujours soutenu le droit d‘IsraĂ«l Ă  dĂ©fendre les IsraĂ©liens contre le terrorisme. Mais cette escalade est totalement disproportionnĂ©e.

Nous ne resterons pas les bras croisĂ©s pendant que le gouvernement Netanyahou poursuit ces actions scandaleuses. Si IsraĂ«l ne met pas fin Ă  la nouvelle offensive militaire et ne lĂšve pas ses restrictions sur l‘aide humanitaire, nous prendrons d‘autres mesures concrĂštes en rĂ©ponse.

Nous nous opposons Ă  toute tentative d‘expansion des colonies en Cisjordanie. IsraĂ«l doit mettre fin aux implantations qui sont illĂ©gales et compromettent la viabilitĂ© d‘un État palestinien ainsi que la sĂ©curitĂ© des IsraĂ©liens et des Palestiniens.  Nous n‘hĂ©siterons pas Ă  prendre d‘autres mesures, y compris des sanctions ciblĂ©es.

(…)

Nous continuerons Ă  travailler avec l‘AutoritĂ© palestinienne, les partenaires rĂ©gionaux, IsraĂ«l et les États-Unis afin de parvenir Ă  un consensus sur les dispositions Ă  prendre pour l‘avenir de Gaza, en s‘appuyant sur le plan arabe. Nous affirmons le rĂŽle important de la confĂ©rence de haut niveau sur la solution Ă  deux États qui se tiendra aux Nations unies en juin pour dĂ©gager un consensus international autour de cet objectif. Nous sommes dĂ©terminĂ©s Ă  reconnaĂźtre un État palestinien en tant que contribution Ă  la rĂ©alisation d‘une solution Ă  deux États et nous sommes prĂȘts Ă  travailler avec d‘autres Ă  cette fin.

Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

(May 19, 2025)

Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate.

We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.

We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.

(…)

We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel and the United States to finalise consensus on arrangements for Gaza’s future, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the High-level Two-State Solution Conference at the UN in June in building international consensus around this aim. And we are committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.

Boris Johnson clashes with Bank of England chief over whether Britain can strike a deal to continue free trade with EU after Brexit

In a stormy LBC interview, Mr Johnson was repeatedly challenged by interviewer Nick Ferrari to say if he was accusing Mark Carney of being wrong.

Mr Johnson insisted Britain would be allowed to use world trade laws to enjoy a period without any changes to tariffs that would endanger exports, something the Bank Governor and many others have stressed would be impossible to demand without agreement in Brussels.

Mark Carney’s replacement must be a Brexiteer

(24.04.2019)

On another level, however, it is completely crackers. The problem only arises because the Chancellor is looking in the familiar pool of Davos-friendly technocrats. In the FT, the names tipped are drearily familiar. The head of the Financial Conduct Authority. A former chief economist of the IMF. One of the career staffers, or maybe a Professor from somewhere or other. From that perspective, Brexit is a problem to be managed. Sterling will crash, investment will dry up, wages will rise, and exports will collapse. The Bank will be muddling its way through one disaster after another.

But surely the Chancellor could just appoint a Brexiteer?

Nur in England schien die Tendenz in die andere Richtung zu zeigen – trotz der drohenden Brexit-Gefahren. Zuletzt gab es einige Signale, die darauf hindeuteten, dass die Bank of England die Zinsen noch in diesem Jahr erhöhen werde. Denn die ökonomischen Daten sehen komfortabel aus.

Is the era of central bank independence over?

The fortress walls of the Bank of England project an image of solidity, stability and impregnability. It matches the reputation it has tried to build over more than 400 years for sober analysis and, in recent years, steady impartiality.

Yet its defences have been infiltrated.

Theresa May‘s broken promises and Mark Carney‘s wild claims are damaging people‘s faith in democracy

Although there has probably never been a golden age when a revered establishment was held in high regard both publicly and privately, the current position is worse than normal and continues to deteriorate.

The problem is that people are right to be distrustful, for there is an effort both to frighten and to gull them into acquiescing into a non-Brexit Brexit.

Critics accuse Bank of England of using its forecasts to play with politics

The Bank of England sparked a row today after publishing analysis of its ‘worst case Brexit scenario’ just 13 days ahead of a crucial Parliamentary vote on Theresa May’s deal.

Why the Brexit fearmongering won’t work – Elites have always tried to pit economic stability against democratic control.

The Remain campaign put economic risk front and centre – and they lost. And yet the anti-Brexit set still seem convinced that more gloomy prognostications will eventually bring Leave voters to their senses.

They’re wrong. So painfully wrong that it is hard not to put it down to pig ignorance.

Unsurprisingly, given the anti-Brexit prejudices in establishment circles, both conclude that the best result for us would be to remain in the EU.
