Six Canadian MPs denied entry by Israel to occupied West Bank
Six Canadian MPs were barred from entering the occupied West Bank by Israel, citing security reasons and alleged ties of the sponsoring organization, The Canadian-Muslim Vote (TCMV), to a designated terrorist group. This denial, which includes members from the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party, drew objections from Canadian officials and criticism from the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM). The MPs were part of a delegation aiming to observe conditions in the region and engage with stakeholders, highlighting what the NCCM called a wider pattern of restricting access for independent observers in the occupied territories.
