Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It concerns the decision of the Israeli government to demand that peace activists entering the occupied Gaza area sign waivers that absolve Israel from any responsibility should they be injured or killed.
This has targeted groups such as Amnesty International, the International Solidarity Movement and Christian Peacemakers, including a number of Canadian citizens.
Blocking the peace monitors will lead to more deaths of innocent civilians and violations of international law.
Will the minister call on Israel to rescind this repressive, illegal policy which is clearly a breach of the fourth Geneva convention--
