Two Jewish Conservative MPs expressed outrage this week after a picture surfaced of two Liberal cabinet ministers “holding hands” with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president who is known for his anti-Semitic policies.

Foreign Minister Melanie Joly and Mental Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks met with Mr. Abbas and Palestinian Authority Minister of Foreign Affairs Riad Malki while visiting the West Bank this week.
