Canada’s Hypocrisy Exposed! Secretly supplied weapons to Israel; now plans to recognise Palestine [Video]

Canada’s Hypocrisy Exposed! Secretly supplied weapons to Israel; now plans to recognise Palestine

A shocking new report reveals Canada has secretly supplied weapons to Israel amid the Gaza conflict, contradicting its stated export freeze. Activist researchers traced at least 13 arms-linked flights from Toronto, many via civilian carriers like Air Canada and Lufthansa. Items shipped included F-35 parts, radar gear, and ammunition. Elbit Systems is identified as a major recipient. The exposé surfaces just as PM Mark Carney announces recognition of Palestine, admitting Israeli settlement expansions have rendered negotiations "no longer tenable." #CanadaIsrael #Palestine #ArmsExports #GazaGenocide #CanadianHypocrisy #ElbitSystems #MilitaryLeaks #DoubleStandards #HumanRights #CarneySpeech #WeaponShipments #TorontoFlights #CivilianFlightsUsed #IsraelCanadaTies #ExposeCanada #WarProfiteering #F35Parts #RadarExports #WestBank #MiddleEastCrisis #ActivistReport #GazaUnderAttack #InternationalLaw #DefenceDeals #BreakingNews #CanadaPolitics #CanadianComplicity Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.122~

Yemenis Flood Sana'a In Mass Protest Against US-Israel Genocide In Gaza,Demand Justice For Palestine

In a powerful display of unity and outrage, hundreds of thousands of Yemenis marched through the streets of Sana'a for the latest “million-man” rally in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The rally, held amid the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign in Gaza, turned the Yemeni capital into a sea of Palestinian flags and anti-imperialist slogans. Protesters condemned what they described as a genocide against Gaza’s population, holding the United States and Israel fully responsible. Demonstrators chanted calls for resistance, waved banners, and pledged continued support for Palestine until the bombardment ends. This weekly mobilization reflects not only political defiance but also deep-rooted solidarity from Yemen’s population, many of whom have suffered years of war and siege themselves. With each passing week, Yemen’s message to the world grows louder: Gaza is not alone. The rally signals mounting pressure on Arab leaders and global powers to act against the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. #Yemen #Gaza #Palestine #FreePalestine #MillionManMarch #SanaaProtest #USIsraelGenocide #GazaUnderAttack #GazaSolidarity #StopTheGenocide #ProtestForPalestine #ArabSolidarity #YemenForGaza #PalestineWillBeFree #EndIsraeliApartheid #StandWithPalestine #NoMoreWar #JusticeForGaza #GazaProtests #MiddleEastNews ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video [Video]

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.” Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis. #FranceAidGaza #GazaFamine #HumanitarianAirdrop #JeanNoelBarrot #Macron #OpenAidCorridors #WHOReport #ChildMalnutrition #GazaCrisis #IsraelAidRestrictions #HumanitarianAccess #JordanUAEFlights #GermanyAid #UKAidDrop #FamineInGaza #StarvationDeaths #CeasefirePressure #GlobalAidPush #LandRoutesNeeded #UrgentRelief ~GR.124~HT.408~

In a harrowing video released by Saraya Al-Quds, Hamas' military wing, captured IDF soldier Ron Breslavsky makes a chilling plea for food and water, revealing the brutal conditions of his nearly two-year captivity in Gaza. Emaciated and visibly distressed, Breslavsky blames Israel's Operation Gideon Chariots for the suffering endured by both hostages and Gazan civilians. His emotional message highlights starvation, medical neglect, and the mental toll of war—accusing Israeli leadership of abandoning its own. #Hamas #IDFSoldier #GazaHostage #RonBreslavsky #OperationGideon #IsraelGazaWar #WarCrimes #PrisonerPlea #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #StarvationInGaza #WarFootage #HostageVideo #WarToll Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.124~
