- Parties: The applicants were the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Weinstein Haggai Iris, Dikla Mizrachi, Rachel Ohnona, and Jacqueline Vital. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada.

- Subject Matter: This judicial review application challenged Global Affairs Canada (GAC)'s decision reinstating Canadian funding to United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which GAC had suspended on Jan. 26, 2024. This application alleged that the decision was unreasonable in light of UNRWA’s history and participation with Hamas, a listed terrorist entity under s. 83.05 of the Criminal Code, and/or the respondent's failure to comply with its statutory duties under the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act; the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act; and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This case is ongoing.

- Date: The hearing was set on Aug. 21, 2024.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.
