1. (U) Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon on
February 26 confirmed that he would take part in the March 2
"Conference in Support of the Palestinian Economy for the
Reconstruction of Gaza" in Sharm al-Sheikh Egypt (reftels).
He underscored that Canada had made a five year commitment
beginning in 2006 worth C$300 million for assistance to the
Palestinian people, as well as an additional C$4 million in
January 2009 for pressing humanitarian needs in Gaza.
2. (U) On the same trip, FM Cannon will separately meet
with Jordanian, Israeli, Palestinian, and Egyptian leaders
and ministers. He expressed appreciation for the
"constructive approach of key moderate states in the region,
such as Jordan and Egypt." He pledged "Canada's full
support" for a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel
and Palestine, while emphasizing that "Canada will support
only those Palestinian leaders who understand that civil
order and an end to terrorism are essential conditions for
the fulfillment of Palestinian national ambitions." He
reiterated Canada's support for "Israel's right to protect
its citizens and defend itself."
