Canada is pledging C$100 million (about US$71 million) in new aid for Palestinians, with C$80 million going to humanitarian relief and C$20 million for peace and security efforts like training police in the West Bank, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced at the U.N. General Assembly. The funding aims to preserve a two-state solution while acknowledging security threats from Hamas, Iran, and affiliated groups.
