Israel also rejected Canada’s announcement that he will recognize a Palestinian state in September, which he considers “a reward for Hamas” that harms, in his opinion, “the efforts to achieve a high fire in Gaza”.
In a statement published in its X account, the Israeli exterior Ministry assured that this Canada position at this time will also be an impediment to obtain the release of the hostages that Hamas maintains in Gaza (50 people, of which about twenty are estimated alive).
This retaliation offensive, which Israel justifies with its right to defense
Israel has carried out a retaliation offensive against Hamas in Gaza for almost 22 months, which this country justifies with its right to defense, after the bloody cross -border attack of Hamas and other Palestinian militias on October 7, 2023.
Third country of the G7 in announcing recognition of a Palestinian state
The Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, announced on the eve that his country intends to recognize the Palestinian State in the next UN General Assembly, which will be held in September.
Carney justified the decision as a response to the “unbearable suffering” caused by Israel’s actions by preventing the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, the violence of Israeli settlers in the West Bank and the plans to annex the annexation of the Palestinian territory.
He also said that Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by Canada, the United States, Israel, the European Union and other countries, “must disarm and cannot play any role in the future governance of Palestine.”
Canada thus becomes the third country of the G7, after France and the United Kingdom, which in recent days have expressed their decision to recognize a Palestinian State.
T-MEC threatened by tariffs
Trump’s warnings to Canada occur when negotiating efforts are accelerated to reach an agreement that prevents Canadian imports excluded from the commercial treaty that links them (T-MEC) are taxed with 35 percent.
The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, sent Washington on Wednesday to his chief of cabinet and his Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs to try to reach a commercial agreement with the US, although both the US president and Carney have declared in recent days that they believe it will not be possible to reach an agreement before Friday.
Threats to Brazil and India, by Bolsonaro and Russia
It is not the first time that Donald Trump mixes the political with the commercial, and not only with threats of taxes.
Trump confirmed on a 50 percent tariff for Brazil, along with new government sanctions against the Brazilian supreme, in retaliation for the trial faced by former president Jair Bolsonaro for coup.
In the case of India, Trump announced a 25 percent tariff when considering that this country imposes “tariffs that are too high, among the highest in the world”, and that it maintains “the most strict and unpleasant non -monetary commercial barriers of any country”, which, in its opinion, has limited bilateral trade.
But he also said he added a penalty for his commercial links with Russia. According to Trump, India has always bought the vast majority of its military equipment from Russia, “and they are the largest energy buyer in Russia, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to stop La Matanza in Ukraine.”
