Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is calling for an apology from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre after he accused her of catering to “Hamas supporters.”

Tensions escalated early in question period Oct. 7, the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terror attack against Israel, when Poilievre denounced “genocidal chants from hateful mobs,” and called on Joly and her government to do the same.
