While announcing policies to starve the more than 2 million Palestinians living under occupation and siege in the Gaza Strip, Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant said "We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly." This amounts to an expression of genocidal intent.

Israel is currently bombing Gaza where airstrikes have hit residential towers, a hospital, and a UN school hosting displaced families. Entire families have been wiped out in their homes. This is not self-defence. Canada should be urging de-escalation & respect for int’l law.

With the launch of Iranian drones towards Israel, we are in an extraordinarily dangerous moment that requires immediate de-escalation. Canada's failure to condemn Israel's illegal and provocative attack on Iran's consulate has allowed Netanyahu to drag the region into war.

Under the direction of @HonAhmedHussen , Canada suspended funding to UNRWA, the most important aid org operating in Gaza. No matter how many tweets he writes about the need for aid to get in, he can't hide Canada's role in recklessly undermining Gaza's aid infrastructure.
