An investigative report published by the website The Maple revealed that a senior official from Canada’s Department of National Defence travelled to Israel to hold a “strategic dialogue” at the height of the genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.

7. Waverley Borough Council rejects proposal to boycott Israeli products and divest from Israel

A heated debate took place among members of Waverley Borough Council in Britain following a proposal submitted by Green Party councillor Steve Williams.

The council leadership rejected the original wording of the proposal, arguing that it violated the council’s internal regulations. Members were therefore forced to discuss a watered-down version amid mutual accusations of antisemitism and wasting taxpayers’ money.

The French-Palestinian association Nidal submitted an urgent petition to the court seeking to ban the ninth edition of the “Icube” property fair, scheduled to take place on Sunday at the European Center for Judaism, or alternatively to ensure that no properties in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are sold.

10. Israel bars French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon from entering the occupied territories

The ban came in response to a pledge made by Mélenchon during a speech delivered last Saturday, in which he promised to send French ships to escort activist flotillas seeking to break the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip since 2007, following the example of Italy and Spain.

He also pledged to take direct action in support of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank if elected president of France.

Israel’s decision came one day after Paris had refused entry to Yossi Dagan, head of the settlement council in the occupied northern West Bank.

Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the ban, describing it as “demagogic” and issued by a government that has intensified its violations of international law.

12. French-Palestinian association asks Paris courts to ban property fair promoting Israeli settlements

The French-Palestinian association Nidal submitted an urgent request to the French judiciary, calling for an order instructing the Paris Police Prefect to ban the ninth edition of the Israeli property fair “Icube”, scheduled to take place at the European Center for Judaism in the French capital, or to prohibit the sale of any properties located in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In its legal action, which followed the Paris police’s failure to respond to a letter previously sent on the matter, the association argued that marketing settlements contributes to the forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinian population.

According to the association, such practices constitute a war crime under international law and the French Criminal Code.
