Mr. Speaker, the United States' decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is reckless and will not only jeopardize the rights of Palestinians, but also scuttle any hope for peace in the region. This decision shows total disregard for international law and has already sparked clashes in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
France, Germany, and Italy are among the many countries to have expressed disapproval. Canada seems to have very little to say on the subject.
Will the government join the international community in condemning this totally irresponsible decision?
