Canada, one of the founding members of the United Nations, played an important role in the establishment of the State of Israel. It was one of the members in the commission that was created by the UN to negotiate the Arab-Israeli conflict post-British Mandate. Canada\u2019s official foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been both in favor of protecting the existence of the Israeli State, and safeguarding the Palestinian right to self-determination. But Canada\u2019s voting behavior in the UN cannot be analyzed in isolation, rather it is Canada\u2019s allies that color its foreign policy and decisions in the international arena. Canada\u2019s relationship with the United States plays a key role in strategizing its policy in the UN. Because Canada relies on the United States in terms of security and economy, it behaves according to the interests of the US in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a peace-broker. Hence, Canada\u2019s role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict majorly depends on its allies in the West and Europe. Canada has no independent decision, not in the United Nations nor while shaping its foreign policy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>By: Saima Rashid, CIGA Research Associate<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Amelia C.
