Canada, Croatia and Angola urge two-state solution at UN meeting

At the United Nations General Assembly, leaders from Canada, Croatia and Angola voiced strong criticism of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine and reiterated support for a two-state solution. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney highlighted Canada’s enduring commitment to a peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians, noting collaboration with the UK, France and Saudi Arabia. Angolan President Joao Lourenco condemned what he called genocide against vulnerable populations and condemned the expansion of Jewish settlements that displaces Palestinians.

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic stressed the need for civilian protection, unhindered humanitarian aid, and adherence to international law to break the cycle of violence. All three leaders called for renewed diplomatic efforts to create conditions for lasting peace and dignity for both peoples.
