Ottawa Loses Bid to Stop Lawsuit Over Funding to UN Palestinian Agency

  • The Federal Court rejected Ottawa’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit by Israeli-advocates seeking to halt Canadian funding to UNRWA, accusing the agency of ties with Hamas.
  • The case will proceed, challenging the legality of Canada’s aid to UNRWA and its alignment with Canadian values.
  • Ottawa had argued that funding decisions are a political matter, not for the courts to decide.
