Thank you for participating in delegation to Palestine

I write to express my appreciation for your participation in the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group Delegation to Palestine between March 31 and April 6, 2018. For many years, Palestinians have asked Canadians to come and see for ourselves the human impact of Israeli military occupation.

Over the years, I have been disappointed that so few Parliamentarians have actually visited human rights defenders and civil society on the ground in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip to learn first hand about the daily life realities of Palestinians.

During this visit I understand that you met with staff and a lawyer from Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) and heard first hand from a child detainee about the widespread ill-treatment of Palestinian children detained by Israeli forces. I hope that you will carry this experience with you and work with your colleagues to draw attention to and help end systematic and institutionalized violations against Palestinian child detainees.

Sincerely,

This message is being sent to the 18 Canadian MPs that recently participated in a delegation to Palestine.
