💨 Abstract

Israel denied entry to a Canadian delegation, including six MPs, due to ties with Islamic Relief Worldwide, which Israel designates as a terror group. The delegation, organized by The Canadian-Muslim Vote, aimed to meet displaced Palestinians in the West Bank. Canadian officials expressed objections to the treatment of the delegation, with MP Iqra Khalid reporting being shoved by Israeli border officials. The incident occurred amid Canada's recent recognition of a Palestinian state, a move opposed by the U.S.
