Canada is expected to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week.

stands on the accusations that Israel is committing genocide. Host of the House, Catherine Cullen, reports.

Conservative leader Pierre Polyev has called this a plan for a Hamas state. Earlier this month, he said his party would never support it. We were obviously not going to recognize Hamas as a state. Well, the NDP wants the Canadian government to do more,

including calling Israel's actions a genocide. This week, a United Nations commissioned panel of inquiry said Israel, had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

There's continued fallout to the suspension of American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. U.S. President Donald Trump is defending the head of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke the broadcast license of Kimmel's network, ABC, a move that Texas Senator Ted Cruz called Dangerous. Trump disagrees. I think Brendan Carr is a courageous person. I think Brendan Carr doesn't like to see the airwaves be used. illegally and incorrectly and purposely horribly. I think Brendan Carr is a great American patriot, so I disagree with Ted Cruz on that. During his podcast yesterday, Cruz accused Carr of using what he called mafioso tactics, while Kimmel's suspension has provoked a backlash and concerns about

free speech. Cruz's criticism is the sharpest yet to come from a Republican. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fagic. Thank you.
