Canada Revokes JNF's Tax-exempt Status Amid Complaints About Its West Bank Activities
Canada's Jewish community claimed that the move is driven by antisemitic motives. JNF Canada is expected to appeal the decision and file a lawsuit. A similar decision was made regarding another prominent Jewish organization in the country, the Ne'eman Foundation

Earlier in June, Canada also imposed sanctions on Amana, a leading settlement organization, and Daniella Weiss, a prominent West Bank settler activist.

Amana, led by Ze'ev Hever (Zambish), a key figure close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, operates Binyanei Bar Amana, a commercial construction company with the goal of settling one million people in the West Bank.

These actions positioned Canada as an outlier on the left in the international wave of sanctions against settlement-related entities. While most countries imposing similar sanctions in the past year focused on individuals and organizations directly linked to violence against Palestinians, Canada chose to target an organization central to the settlement enterprise.
