Out of thin air on Thursday, Melanie Joly created a new foreign policy as it relates to Israel’s war against Hamas.

It might come as a surprise to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, but the most pressing issue in global politics is not keeping the NDP happy and the “progressive” wing of the Liberal party satisfied.
Her constantly shifting positions on Israel’s war with Hamas terrorists in Gaza are either evidence of her going rogue, being completely unaware of what the government’s policy is or that she really does think that the “ceasefire-now, Hamas are freedom fighters” faction of the left is the Liberals’ most important constituency.
Is the policy of the Canadian government that Hamas be permitted to continue governing Gaza? Joly seems to think it is, as she expressed her wish for a “détente” between Israel and Hamas, so as to allow, “I hope, even more negotiations at a negotiating table where there are Israelis, Hamas and Qatar, which is present … as moderator.” (???)
It seems clear that what Joly is suggesting here is that Hamas be treated as an equal partner with Israel, despite the fact that it is a terrorist organization that started this war when, on Oct. 7, it slaughtered around
1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, for the simple fact that they were Jewish.
As much as the conditions regular Palestinians live under are awful, and frequently horrific, Hamas did not attack Israel on a mission of “resistance.”
No one denies Palestinians should be involved in the future governance of Gaza, but Joly believes Hamas specifically should have a seat at the table, or at least those are what the words that came out of her mouth suggests she believes.
The only thing consistent about the Liberals' position over the Israel-Hamas war is how inconsistent it has been

Joly said she hopes the humanitarian pauses allow not just for hostages and foreigners to flee Gaza, but for further negotiations that could result in an eventual end to the carnage.
“This will allow a sort of détente, and therefore allow, I hope, even more negotiations at the negotiation table, where there are the Israelis, Hamas and Qatar present at the negotiation table as a moderator,” Joly said in French.
Global Affairs Canada says 32 more Canadians were able to leave the Gaza Strip on Thursday through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

She said it would also allow a form of “détente and so allow, I hope, even more negotiations at a negotiating table where there are Israelis, Hamas and Qatar which is present ... as moderator.”
But Canada has never called for a ceasefire, never set out what it considers the proper “conditions” that might lead to one, and has never suggested that it would view Hamas as an equal party at any negotiating table — a position the U.S. expressly rejected this week, arguing it would be a propaganda victory for Hamas and legitimize their terrorist tactics.
Joly’s comments go further than those of the prime minister who has turned aside growing demands to demand a ceasefire, saying Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas attacks.
