Harper suggests Canada won't recognize new Palestinian Hamas government
CP ^ | January 26, 2006

Prime minister-designate Stephen Harper is suggesting Canada will not recognize the new Palestinian Hamas government.

Harper, who is to be sworn in Feb. 6, suggested today that his Conservative government won't accept Hamas as long as it continues to support terrorism and call for the destruction of Israel. Asked about the issue during his first news conference since winning Monday's election, Harper said he supports Israel.

And he added: "For a nation to be truly democratic, that nation must renounce terrorism."

Hamas is already banned from operating in Canada because of its support for terrorism.

The group won a surprise majority in this week's Palestinian election.

U.S. President George W. Bush says the United States will not deal with Palestinian leaders who dispute Israel's right to exist
