Liberal MP Rob Oliphant said he repeatedly thought of quitting his parliamentary secretary position following Canada’s “political” decision to pause funding to the UN organization for Palestinians, according to a recording.

Canada and several allies have paused funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) after it came to light that a dozen of its members participated in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
