Several sources with knowledge of the meeting told CBC News that the vote did not take place in the end.

On the contrary, sources said, the Federal Council passed a separate motion requiring Paul to publicly “deny” Noah Zatzman, one of Paul’s former senior advisers, who accused many politicians in social media posts— -Including unspecified members of the Green Party-there was discrimination and anti-Semitism last month.

The motion also called on Paul to “clearly support” the Green Party caucus. If not, the motion states that Paul will face a vote of no confidence on July 20.

The decision on Tuesday night was made after a few difficult weeks in the party. Torn apart by internal disputes in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

As the violence in the region escalated, Paul issued a statement calling for a ceasefire and condemned the Palestinian rocket attacks and Israel’s excessive use of force, apparently trying to come up with a moderate stance close to the Trudeau government.

Green MP Jenica Atwin-who later left the Green Caucus to join the Liberal Party-attacked Paul’s statement on Twitter. “This is a completely inappropriate statement,” Atwin wrote. “Forced evictions must end. I stand with Palestine and condemn the incredible air strikes in Gaza. End apartheid.”

Green Party MP Paul Manley also disputed Paul’s statement, saying that the plan to remove Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jala community in East Jerusalem was “ethnic cleansing.”

Zazman responded A post on Facebook stated that the Green Party “will work hard to defeat you and bring progressive climate advocates who are anti-law and pro-LGBT, support indigenous sovereignty and Zionists!!!”

Zatzman is no longer an advisor to the leader. His six-month contract will expire on July 4 and will be obtained by the Canadian News Agency, which stipulates that the party will pay Zatzman for more than 100 hours of work per month.

CBC News contacted the Greens, Paul and Zatzman after the meeting on Tuesday for comments.

There are too many “distractions” in the Green Party: Atwin

In addition, two party executives recently announced that they will step down early. One of them is John Kidder, who is the vice chairman of the party’s governing body and the husband of Congressman and former leader Elizabeth May.

When Atwin announced last week that she would join the Liberal Party across borders, she said that the Green Party had too much “interference” and she wanted to work in a more “supportive and collaborative” environment.

In a media statement, May and BC Green MP Manly stated that they were “heartbroken” by Atwin’s decision-which should be blamed on Zatzman.

“Unfortunately, the attack on Ms. Atwin by the chief spokesperson of the Green Party leader on May 14 created the conditions that led to this crisis,” the two said. Members of Congress added that although they were frustrated, they “have no intention of leaving the Canadian Green Party.”

Paul told reporters after Atwin announced the news that she was caught off guard by her departure and only learned about it from media reports.

Paul said that although the party supports cross-party cooperation and rejects excessive partisanship, she said there are “major differences” between the Green Party and the Liberal Party, and called Atwin’s cross-border behavior “disappointing.”

Paul said that Fredericton should hold a by-election because voters there chose green MPs in the 2019 election campaign.

She said she didn’t think it was the quarrel within Israel that prompted Atwin to change his position. She said she knew that Atwin had been negotiating with the Liberal Party for “weeks” before the internal debate on the Middle East broke out.
