I do believe that negotiations are essential to reach peace, security and stability between Israel and Palestinians. I think I made that clear. I also believe that there are tools in our tool box that Canada as a nation has not explored.

This would be done through a number of actions, which I've briefly outlined before, including Security Council resolutions that indicate the parameters for a peace agreement and for the negotiations.
There are actually options that, as an international community, we have not yet explored. Canada could play a more active role to lead this. Failing that, I personally fear greater tragedy—
