Parliamentary security officers intercepted 14 people and issued trespass notices after a group of Jews against Israel and Palestinian supporters held a sit-in protest inside an Ottawa parliamentary building on Dec. 3, calling for the federal government to “stop arming and supporting Israel’s genocide.”

Ottawa police were called to support Parliamentary Protective Services (PPS) at a demonstration held by protesters inside the Confederation Building in Ottawa at approximately 8:40 a.m., the Ottawa Police Service told The Epoch Times in a statement. The Confederation Building houses offices for Members of Parliament and federal government departments.
