Radio Tadamon! Canada and the Palestinian Authority.
http://tadamon.resist.ca/index.php/post/787

Listen to an interview with Khaled Mouammar, of the Canadian Arab Federation 
(CAF) on the recent decision of the Conservative government of Canada to 
re-institute limited funding toward the Palestinian Authority (PA). On Monday, 
July 23rd, Canada's Forgein Minister Peter MacKay announced that the Canadian 
government would pledge a limited $8 million to the fragile P.A.

The political reverse in Canadian funding arrives 18 months after Canada became 
the 1st western government to cut all financial and diplomatic ties with the 
P.A., launching a western boycott days after the Palestinian political movement 
Hamas won a Parliamentary majority in legislative elections in January 2006.

Canada has reinstituted limited aid funding to the Palestinian Authority, in 
political showing of support for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, shortly 
after Abbas expelled all democratically elected Hamas members of the 
Palestinian government, admits ongoing power struggles throughout the 
Palestinian territories.

In this feature interview for Radio Tadamon! Khaled Mouammar provides 
perspective on the recent reversal of Canadian foreign policy toward the 
Palestinian Authority and Canada's post-Israel foreign policy throughout the 
Middle East region.
