Canada must finally acknowledge Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories

The international community’s utter failure to reach an immediate ceasefire is inexcusable, while Canada's diplomatic laryngitis on this issue is startling.

Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau’s latest statement on the violence in Gaza muted its criticism of Israel and made no mention of the occupation. Canada holds one of the weakest voting records on the Israeli occupation at the UN General Assembly, which contributed to its failed bid for a seat on the UN Security Council, write Michael Lynk and Ketty Nivyabandi.
