Carney

Carney must emphatically reject US-Israeli takeover of aid in Gaza

Montreal, May 9, 2025 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is urging the Prime Minister Carney to firmly reject dangerous plans by the United States and Israel to take over the humanitarian aid system in Gaza. All UN agencies and NGO partners have opposed US President Trump’s proposal to shut down the UN system and consolidate control over aid distribution, as it contradicts humanitarian principles and weaponizes aid. CJPME urges Prime Minister Carney to reject any requests from Trump or Netanyahu to fund this cynical aid scheme, and immediately impose long overdue sanctions on Israel’s leadership to halt its genocidal starvation and dispossession policies in Gaza.
