Canada abstained from a UN vote urging Israel to end its presence in Gaza and the West Bank within a year.

On October 27, Canada abstained from a United Nations vote urging Israel to end its "unlawful presence" in Gaza and the West Bank within a year. The resolution, which passed 124-14 with 43 abstentions, is based on a ruling by the International Court of Justice declaring Israel's presence in these territories illegal. Canada's UN ambassador, Bob Rae, stated the motion was too one-sided, highlighting a shift from Canada's previous support for Israel in UN votes.
