Summary
Canadian advocates are urging the government to expedite visa approvals for Palestinians amidst ongoing violence in Gaza and a deteriorating hostage crisis. They highlight low approval rates compared to Ukrainian refugees, advocating for stronger diplomatic pressure on Israel to protect Palestinian lives. As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu offers significant rewards and safe passage for hostages, the humanitarian crisis deepens, with cease-fire talks stalled and significant casualties reported. Advocates argue that the Canadian government’s reliance on local authorities for visa facilitation is inadequate and must be addressed promptly.
