The Trudeau government will cease future arms exports to Israel even though a motion passed Monday by the House of Commons that called for such action is non-binding, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.
“It is a real thing,” said Joly, speaking to the Star briefly on the morning after a majority of Liberal MPs and cabinet voted in support of a modified NDP resolution that some Jewish groups say undermines Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas.
The controversial multi-pronged resolution sought to toughen Canada’s stance on the Middle East conflict.
Ahh, for some weird reason I always thought ppl referred to the Abbas fellow as “Bibi”. Perhaps it was because “Bibi” sounds Muslim where I come from?
Habibi in Arabic means “my love” which is probably where you’re getting mixed up
Naah I don’t think it’s because of the Habibi. I think it’s just that there were quite a few Muslim rulers in my country with the name “Bibi”.
To state the obvious here, Hebrew and Arab are closely related languages. Phonetically a lot of things will sound similar between Arab and Hebrew, to speakers of indoeuropean languages.
Ah. Makes sense I suppose
