On Thursday, Turkey’s Ambassador to the U.N. Ahmet Yildiz renewed demands for a global arms embargo on Israel as he addressed U.N. reporters. Turkey and another 50 nations recently sent a joint letter to the U.N. pressing for an end to Israeli arms transfers.

Ahmet Yildiz: “We cannot stress enough that the staggering civilian toll, predominantly affecting women and children, resulting from ongoing breaches of international humanitarian and human rights law, is both unacceptable and intolerable.”

Two Canadian Palestinian citizens are suing the government of Canada for violating its duty to prevent genocide. This is attorney Shane Martínez.

Shane Martínez: “Our claim alleges that Canada, by failing to fulfill its legal duty to take all reasonable measures to prevent the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, did causally contribute to violations of our clients’ rights under the charter.”

The plaintiffs in the case have lost family members to Israel’s assault on Gaza, which they argue Canada has illegally abetted.
