Curiously, the reasons mentioned by Global Affairs Canada seemed to rather justify a vote in favour, yet Canada abstained. Recently, the Government of Canada has indicated its willingness to recognize a Palestinian state at the most propitious time for a lasting peace, even if this is not the final step towards the realization of the two-state solution.
Given the arguments put forward by Global Affairs Canada to justify its abstention on last May's resolution, when would be the right time to recognize the State of Palestine?
