HOW DOES one explain Canada’s contradictory foreign policy regarding Palestine and Israel?

On December 4, Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) secretary general  Saeb Erekat praised Canada’s commitment not to follow the footsteps of the US Donald Trump Administration by transferring its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
