An announcement by Liberal MP Anthony Housefather that he will not back a NDP motion in support of Palestine has led to a war of words between the MP and a high-ranking Palestinian representative.

Mr. Housefather, in a March 10 post on X, said he would “strongly and forcefully oppose” the NDP motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza when Parliament votes on March 18.
