Continued arms transfers to Israel enable grave violations against Palestinians, including sexual and gender-based violence against women & girls.
Israel diverts arms to illegal settlers, facilitating intimidation, harassment, forced displacement and sexual violence.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Condemns Organized Settler Terrorism as Part of a Genocidal War Against the Palestinian People
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine strongly condemns the calculated and organized attacks carried out yesterday by settler militias across various cities, villages, and towns in the occupied West Bank. These assaults reflect a dangerous escalation in systematic and widespread settler terrorism, supported and coordinated by the Israeli occupation authorities and army.
The Ministry noted that settlers’ assaults on villages; including the burning of homes and property, terrorizing and killing of civilians, and the targeting of vital roads, junctions, and main streets during Eid al-Fitr, alongside decisions of the Israeli occupation authorities to continue their genocidal war against our people in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as the ongoing closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and other Christian and Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, constitute a coordinated strategy across the occupation’s apparatus. These measures are part of deliberate tactics aimed at deepening the genocidal war through the settler colonial regime, all of which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Ministry expressed its appreciation for the positions of countries that have condemned these crimes and called on the international community to take concrete measures rather than limiting itself to statements. It urged the fulfillment of international responsibilities and obligations in implementing UN resolutions, disarming settlers, and holding them accountable for acts of terrorism, including insisting them on international terrorism lists, imposing travel bans, freezing their funds and assets, and targeting the financial networks and goods associated with settlements.
The Ministry affirmed its continued diplomatic efforts to provide international protection for the Palestinian people, activate international mechanisms endorsed by the international system, and hold the Israeli colonial regime as a whole, along with all those responsible, accountable in order to deter the commission of such crimes. It added that this comes amid what it described as Israel’s exploitation of international preoccupation with the ongoing Israeli-American-Iranian conflict.
At the Arms Trade Treaty Working Group, the State of Palestine rejected Israel’s misuse of “self-defence” and dismissed claims about PA “terror financing,” warning of the dangers of continued arms transfers amid massacres, starvation, and forced displacement.
Canada is committed to contributing to lasting peace and stability in Palestine. Alleviating the humanitarian situation in Gaza through an unimpeded flow of resources remains a top priority. Thank you to Mohammad Younis, First Secretary of the Palestinian General Delegation in Ottawa, for taking the time to meet with me.
During the ID with the SR on Human Rights & Counter Terrorism, Palestine stressed that settler violence can meet the definition of terrorism.
The SR acknowledged some acts may fit this definition & sanctions consistent with int law could be an appropriate response to Israel
(1/3) The #Palestinian General Delegation to #Canada views with grave concern the #Israeli occupation government’s decision to deny entry to a Canadian delegation, including six Members of Parliament, to the occupied West Bank.

Mr. Mohammad Younis (Palestine), and Mr. Kiritharan Kumarasamy (Sri Lanka), who conveyed their countries’ condolences to the Government and people of Kenya.
Today, I convened Arab members of the diplomatic corps to discuss the ongoing work to bring peace and stability to the Middle East. Canada is focused on advancing efforts that lead to a lasting ceasefire, the release of hostages, the disarmament of Hamas and much-needed humanitarian aid.
Thank you Dear Senator from the depths of my heart for your kind words and your bravery.
Your stances and solidarity throughout the years have meant the world to me. And I will carry your friendship wherever I go.
I am assured that justice will prevail, and that voices like yours will help light the path towards it.
