Israel advocates are asking the Federal Court to reverse Ottawa’s decision to continue funding the main United Nations agency supporting Palestinians.The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs is joining Canadians whose relatives were killed in the Hamas attack last October in asking Ottawa to stop funding UNRWA.A notice of application argues that allegations UNRWA staff took part in the October Hamas attack means that the agency falls short of Canada’s law on foreign aid, which requires it be provided “in a manner that is consistent with Canadian values.”
