The anti-Israel organization 'Canadian Defenders for Human Rights' announced the cancellation of a conference in memory of the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar that was supposed to take place in Mississauga, west of Toronto.
The decision to cancel the conference came after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar worked to have it canceled, reported Arutz 7.
The organization stated, "CD4HR has decided to cancel the November 26 Vigil for the Great Martyr Yahya Sinwar, our Mandela, due to several reasons - primarily the security and safety of our city Mississauga and secondly, the urgent food security issue declared 3 days ago that CD4HR members will be volunteering with to eradicate."
"CD4HR has consulted the city of Mississauga and we have been assured that we can practice our Charter on Rights and Freedoms and we'll keep you posted on the next event, lest the pro-Israel lobbies and their supporters think they intimidated us in any way. Freedom for Palestine," the group's statement concluded.
