Flotilla activist Raees Ahmed has arrived back in Canada after being detained by Israeli authorities during a humanitarian mission aimed at challenging the blockade on Gaza.
Ahmed was among the activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid and medical supplies.
The Senate's rejection of Senator @YuenPauWoo's motion is a missed opportunity to examine the government's obligations under intl law at a time when the ICJ, the ICC & the UN continue documenting severe Israeli violations in Gaza & across the occupied Palestinian territories.
In the debate, opposing senators framed this motion as an accusation against Canada, instead of a credible request for examination and reporting. However, this motion never condemned Canada, nor accuse it of being complicit in genocide. Rather, it called on the govt to merely examine the risk of complicity, and to publicly report its findings.
To those senators who voted against: prioritizing a country's reputation cannot substitute for examining whether its conduct is consistent with intl law during ongoing genocide!
After our civil society lobby day prior to this vote, thank you to those Senators who heard us, and voted on behalf of Palestinian human rights:
@SenatorAlZaibak@michelaudette@SenatorClement@SenMaryCoyle@TonyDean_TO@amigerba
Senator Marilou McPhedran
Sen Tracy Muggli
Sen Manuelle Oudar

🚨 Netanyahu just expelled Spain’s diplomatic representatives from Israel.
His stated reason: Spain criticized the IDF.
His exact words: “I do not intend to allow any country to wage a diplomatic war against us without paying an immediate price.”
Read that carefully.
Not a military threat. Not a security concern. Spain called out the IDF — and Netanyahu responded by expelling their diplomats and calling it a price that must be paid immediately.
