Lynn Hastings has warned about the “catastrophic” humanitarian consequences of Israel’s attacks on Gaza, while also condemning the “indiscriminate” rocket fire from Palestinian militants on Israeli cities and calling for the release of hostages. Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a letter to Tor Wennesland, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, said it will not renew Ms. Hasting’s visa, which expires Dec. 20. Israeli authorities have been critical of Ms. Hastings, and the letter, obtained by The Globe and Mail, faults her for “consistently and maliciously placing responsibility for the humanitarian situation exclusively on Israel, without once, specifically and unequivocally calling out Hamas for their reprehensible disdain for human life.
