Mark Carney falls right into a Hamas trap: Full Comment podcast Back to video

For two years, Hamas has used the suffering of Palestinians to manipulate global opinion. As Brian Lilley discusses with this week’s guests, it worked: the Hamas-caused hunger crisis in Gaza has prompted Canada, with France and the United Kingdom, to recognize a Palestinian state based on unenforceable conditions like democratic elections and Hamas relinquishing power — which it says it will never do. Iddo Moed, Israel’s ambassador, says the declarations have already destroyed ceasefire talks. Eylon Levy, former spokesman for the Israeli government, says such naive western “student politics” invite everlasting war. And Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar, who has worked with fledgling Mideast democracies, explains how Prime Minister Mark Carney has, ironically, subverted Canada’s democracy, and interests, with his reckless decision. (Recorded Aug. 1, 2025.)
