Canada to recognize Palestine but hold off on fully normalizing diplomatic relations.
Canada “pauses” arms exports to Israel but allows $ millions in military goods to keep flowing.
At every step, Canada is dedicated to emptying new policies of any meaningful significance. Inaction is complicity in genocide.
#Gaza is not a warzone – it is a graveyard for humanity’s conscience⚠️
Palestinian children are being starved to death and killed by bombs in their tents. It must stop now.
We urgently need international action to protect children & families now. We cannot fail them❤️
UN reports that Israeli soldiers have forcibly expelled over 2,000 families from Jenin, a camp with a population of around 22,000. A video below shares the stories of two displaced individuals. With field executions, forced displacements, and attacks on healthcare, Palestinian reporters are drawing comparisons here to Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza’s Jabalia camp in late 2024.
Al Jazeera reporter @hamdahsalhut:
“Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp have been forced to flee their homes after receiving forced evacuation orders via drones and loudspeakers on Jeeps, but the Israeli government has denied issuing any such orders.
The Israeli military has set up several different roadblocks in the area and, as people flee, they are checked and some have been detained. That includes women and children along with men.
Medics say it’s difficult to retrieve people who are injured because of these roadblocks and that there are people who have been shot by the Israeli military who are bleeding in the streets.”
On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we send our solidarity to the children of Gaza and the West Bank.
Palestinian children deserve safe and peaceful childhoods free from violence and discrimination.
History will not forgive those who turned a blind eye to their suffering.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use its power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

Please listen to my colleague @alex_saieh on why the latest Israeli evacuation orders in Deir el Balah, forcibly displacing thousands of Palestinians again, may be "final blow to aid operations." #Gaza#CeasefireNOW
⚠️ Bombs. Starvation. Disease.⚠️
The horror continues for children in #Gaza as they are still being denied lifesaving aid.
No child deserves to live in fear or at risk of irreparable harm.
We need a #CeasefireNOW and improved humanitarian access to save lives.
