Montreal affirms support for Palestine
The Montreal City Council in Canada expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people after editing an original draft that originally included calls to suspend relations with the Israeli occupation. The amendments removed clauses condemning the occupation, as well as affirmations of the apartheid regime and genocide. The changes were introduced by the "Together Montreal" party to the draft proposal, resulting in a significant alteration despite widespread pressure campaigns from civil society organizations and unions. The opposition party, "Montreal Project," voiced its disappointment, explaining that the amendments weakened the substance of the proposal, although it acknowledged its importance and viewed it as a historic step in showing solidarity with Palestine.
