A coalition of Canadian legal rights groups has launched a landmark lawsuit against the federal government, charging it with failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and violating its obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention.
The Coalition for Canadian Accountability in Gaza, which includes the Legal Centre for Palestine (LCP), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and other legal advocates, alleges that Ottawa has failed to meet its legal obligations to prevent genocide and has violated the plaintiffs’ rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The legal action has been filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on behalf of two Palestinian-Canadians who have suffered devastating losses in Gaza during Israel’s year-long assault on the civilian population.
The case centres on two plaintiffs: Hany el Batnigi, who was trapped in Gaza during the initial bombardment in October and lost multiple family members to Israeli attacks, and Tamer Jarada, whose family suffered crushing losses when their apartment building in Gaza City was destroyed by an Israeli air strike, killing his father, sisters, uncle, aunt, nephews and numerous extended family members.
The lawsuit specifically challenges Canada’s continued military exports to Israel and its failure to exercise influence over Israeli actions. The filing argues that the government has neglected to deploy available tools, including sanctions against Israeli leaders, preventing Canadian citizens from serving in the Israeli military, and curtailing Canadian charities’ support for illegal acts in Israel.
The plaintiffs are seeking a declaration that Canada has violated its duty to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide. Additionally, they argue that the government’s failure to act has violated their Charter rights to security of the person and equal protection under the law without discrimination.
The legal action also criticises Canada’s Gaza Special Measures temporary resident visa programme, which has failed to provide adequate assistance to Palestinians fleeing the conflict, with both plaintiffs experiencing major obstacles in their attempts to secure safe passage for surviving family members to Canada.

On January 31, 2026, FBI agents and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Sugar Springs Drive in east Las Vegas, near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. What they found inside triggered one of the strangest criminal cases in recent Nevada history. Authorities discovered what they described as an illegal biological laboratory concealed within the property, complete with a biosafety hood, a biosafety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators containing vials of unidentified liquids, red and brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and over 1,000 containers with unknown substances. … continue
