Carney touted \u201cthe possibility of a more durable ceasing of hostilities,\u201d and he described G7 host France\u2019s planned inclusion of the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in an expanded summit format as \u201ctimely.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Carney emphasized any credible deal would require \u201ca broader cessation of hostilities, including in Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin \u2014 whose government has been sharply critical of Israel, which shut its Irish embassy<\/a> in protest \u2014 concurred, saying it would be \u201cextremely important that Lebanon is included in the peace process. Lebanese sovereignty is absolutely essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lebanon is of particular importance to Ireland, a non-NATO member, because the Irish contribute troops to the United Nations peacekeeping force in south Lebanon<\/a> \u2014 and have lost 48 soldiers on duty there<\/a> since 1978.<\/p>\n

Carney\u2019s trip to Ireland seeks, in part, to promote his agenda of building Canadian cooperation with Europe as a counterbalance to the tension the country has experienced with its southern neighbor under the Trump administration. And Ireland is about to become a particularly influential ally, since it\u2019s taking over the rotating presidency of the European Council on July 1 and will consequently be hosting scores of EU events over the coming six months.<\/p>\n

But his swing through Ireland also looks like a bid to build the political brand of Carney, a policy wonk and former central banker who\u2019s been an elected lawmaker for barely a year. His family story will come into focus Sunday when he visits<\/a> his ancestral home in a County Mayo village from which his paternal grandparents emigrated to Canada in 1925.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carney touted \u201cthe possibility of a more durable ceasing of hostilities,\u201d and he described G7 host France\u2019s planned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31177,17,505,162,24135,2105,200,2807,33521,821,3427,111,541,30363,33522,33523,30],"class_list":["post-87234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-micheal-martin","tag-canada","tag-cooperation","tag-donald-trump","tag-egypt","tag-france","tag-iran","tag-ireland","tag-irish-politics","tag-israel","tag-lebanon","tag-mark-carney","tag-qatar","tag-saudi-arabia","tag-u-s-politics","tag-united-arab-emirates","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
