Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand summoned Israel’s ambassador to explain why a delegation of Canadian members of Parliament was refused entry to the West Bank earlier this week.
Ambassador Iddo Moed was called in by Ms. Anand on Tuesday. Myah Tomasi, a spokesperson for Ms. Anand, said Mr. Moed met Global Affairs officials that day to discuss the treatment of the delegation.
Six MPs were part of a delegation of around 30 Canadians that also included representatives of charitable organizations. The group was denied entry to the West Bank by Israeli authorities on
Tuesday, prompting Ms. Anand to publicly voice her disapproval of their treatment.
I’m sure the Israeli envoy tried desperately not to smirk.
