"Canadian Minister Resigns Over Controversial Palestine Comments"

Selina Robinson, a senior government minister in the Canadian province of British Columbia, resigned after making controversial comments about the founding of modern Israel during a panel discussion, sparking outrage from pro-Palestinian groups. Robinson, who is Jewish, apologized for her remarks, acknowledging that they belittled the connection Palestinians have to the land. Her resignation was announced by British Columbia premier David Eby, who described her comments as wrong and demeaning to a community already under pressure due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Robinson will remain a member of the New Democratic Party caucus.
