OTTAWA — The Federal Court has denied Ottawa's bid to quash a case in which advocates for Israel are asking for a reversal of Canada's temporary freeze on the main United Nations agency supporting Palestinians.
A judge ruled Wednesday that those filing the case and the questions they raised fit within the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, while not weighing in on the evidence they presented. In August, the United Nations announced the firing of nine of the 19 UNRWA staff members it investigated, saying they"may have been involved" in the attacks.
