Organizers of West Bank delegation blocked by Israel call for steeper sanctions

Members of a Canadian delegation that was denied entry to the West Bank earlier this month are calling on Ottawa to tighten sanctions targeting new Israeli settlements in occupied territory.

A group that included six Canadian MPs on a mission to meet with displaced Palestinians was turned away at the Allenby border crossing into the West Bank on Dec. 16.

Multiple witnesses from the group said Ontario MP Iqra Khalid was shoved by an Israeli border guard during the confrontation.

Oh No!!!!
