Israeli military, settlers damage aid projects supported by Canada: parliamentary doc
Canada has contributed to aid projects in the Palestinian territories that were later damaged by Israeli military forces and settlers, according to parliamentary documents.
Projects funded by Canada and other countries, totaling at least $3.68 million, were destroyed, damaged, or abandoned in the West Bank.
The Carney government has not decided whether to seek compensation from Israel or help pay for repairs, while Global Affairs Canada says it cannot identify all affected Canadian-funded projects.
NDP MP Heather McPherson criticized the damage, while Israeli officials said they avoid harming critical civilian infrastructure.
