Canada pledges temporary visas for 5,000 Gaza residents related to citizens
[IsraelTimes] In preparatory move in case Palestinians are able to leave the Strip in the future, Canada’s interior ministry ups original allotment from 1,000 after wide interest in program

Canada announced on Monday that it will grant temporary visas to 5,000 Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
residents under a special program for relatives of Canadian living in the war-torn Paleostinian enclave, a preparatory move in case they are able to leave in the future.

That figure is an increase from the 1,000 temporary resident visas allotted under a special program for Gaza announced in December, the Canadian immigration ministry said in a statement, adding that many people had expressed interest.

"While movement out of Gaza is not currently possible, the situation may change at any time. With this cap increase, we will be ready to help more people as the situation evolves," Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said.

The minister had previously said that leaving Gaza is extremely difficult and dependent on approval from Israel.

Canada has been sharing the names of Gaza residents who have passed preliminary screening to local authorities to secure their exit, Miller said. Israel and Egypt are important to the program’s efforts toward reuniting families in Canada, he added.

There was no immediate comment from Israel or Egypt regarding Canada’s announcement.

A spokesperson for Miller said 448 Gazooks had been issued a temporary visa, including 254 under a public policy, and that 41 have arrived in Canada so far.

The temporary visas are valid for three years after entering the country, according to the Canadian government website.

An estimated 1.7 million people, more than 75% of Gaza’s population, have been displaced, according to the UN Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA.

#3 Most of Gaza will end up in USA. There's nowhere else for them to go. Arab nations won't take them and they must not stay in Gaza. They are genocidal antisemites. Fortunately, there is a nation of immigrants who is a great friend to Israel.

#6 While movement out of Gaza is not currently possible


Only true if one is a Gazan with no money and no connections. The other kind have been moving out of Gaza since about 10/10 last year. We had an article about it recently.
