DEMAND THAT CANADA UPHOLD ITS COMMITMENT TO INTERNATIONAL LAW AND PEACE
The situation in Gaza and the West Bank is devastating. With renewed Israeli attacks, a collapsed ceasefire, and the ongoing blockade of life-saving aid, civilians are facing unimaginable hardship. Over 53,000 people have been killed in Gaza alone, and the entire population is on the brink of starvation. While in the West Bank, families continue to suffer from violence and forced displacement.
Canada must follow joint statements with immediate and decisive action to stop ongoing violations of international humanitarian law and restore humanitarian aid to a starving population in Gaza. Canada must also stop the flow of all direct or indirect arms and arms components to Israel. The government must also work to end the violations and dispossession in the West Bank.
By signing this letter, you are urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to take immediate and decisive steps to apply restrictive measures including cancelling existing permits allowing the sale of arms and arms components, including through the US, used to perpetuate violence against Palestinians in Gaza, push for principled humanitarian access to Gaza, and stand up for the rights of Palestinians under international law.
Now is the time to act. Palestinians have a right to exist. Millions are suffering, and Canada's leadership is crucial.
