NDP motion on Palestine passes after Liberal’s make changes

Canada’s House of Commons hosted an hours-long debate last night over an NDP motion calling for the federal government to “officially recognize the state of Palestine.”

It took some concessions before a softened version of the motion finally passed in a vote.

Some of Canada’s allies have signalled they’re open to recognizing the Palestinian territories only once some key conditions are met.

Meanwhile, this all comes as Israeli forces raid one of Gaza’s biggest hospitals.

We’re joined tonight by international human rights lawyer and senior fellow at the University of Ottawa, Alex Neve.
