In our last post before the summer break, we examine the growing chorus of outrage against Israeli war crimes in Gaza and call on Canada to match its condemnatory words with sanctions on key Israeli political and military actors.
Non-permanent UN Security Council members lead the way on passage of a resolution calling for an immediate Gaza ceasefire. We also closely examine the positive policy implications of the amended NDP motion passed in the House of Commons on 18 March.
After backtracking by the PM, Canada has finally done the right thing and reinstated UNRWA funding. The next step is to immediately stop all arms exports to Israel.
Canada must reinstate funding for UNRWA immediately as well as taking further concrete action to end the war in Gaza and build a lasting peace. And it must get serious about helping build prospects for peace in Ukraine.
