    Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 15 hours ago

“A few people in Canada and some other western countries are talking about upholding values, but one important part of the values should be: respect facts and stop spreading disinformation and even lies.”

“This illegal and immoral practice puts citizens of all countries at risk and it undermines the rule of law. It is unacceptable and it must stop. It is totally unacceptable if citizens from our country go to another country, either to visit or to work there, that they have to live in fear that they could become a bargaining chip.”

“It's long past time for the government to deal with this. Australia has already dealt with this. Our other allies have already dealt with this. I note that on October 28, the FBI charged eight individuals, three of whom were Chinese citizens, for interfering and threatening American citizens through operations that are taking place on American soil. I expect it to be carried out if the government follows democratic norms and respects the will of Parliament. At a time when democracy is under pressure around the world, it's more important than ever that governments respect democratic norms.”

“I know, Mr. Chair, that some like to talk tough on China. To those who are seduced by this one-dimensional view, I say this: while it is easy to be tough, let's continue to be smart. Let's not fall into the temptation of tough and irresponsible rhetoric that will generate no tangible result for Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, our farmers and entrepreneurs, and human rights victims and advocates. The China of 2020 is not the China of 2015 or even the China of 2018. We see a country and a leadership increasingly prepared to throw its weight around to advance its interests.”

“I've also got some questions for the Canadian side. First, why Canada is the only country that 'abides by' its extradition treaty with the US on this matter? The United States has extradition treaties with many countries. Second, do other countries that have such treaties with the United States not abide by their obligations? Third, why don't they do what Canada does? This is because they don't want to be part of the US' dirty scheme and to serve the US' self-interest at the expense of their own people. China's position on the Meng Wanzhou incident is clear and firm. It must be stressed that in the face of all these facts and questionable points disclosed, no matter how hard the Canadian government tries to hide the truth and mislead the public, it will never change the political nature of the Meng Wanzhou incident, and the disgraceful role of the Canadian government as the US' accomplice and pawn. We also noted that more and more insightful people in Canada have spoken out, asking the Canadian government to independently make the decision to release Ms. Meng Wanzhou, and among them are political leaders, lawyers, judges and retired diplomats. We urge the Canadian leader to heed their voices of justice and reason.”

“Do I regret that Canada followed its laws? Do I regret that Canada lived up to a longstanding extradition treaty with our closest ally? Absolutely not. Canada is a country of the rule of law and obeying those laws can't just be when it's convenient or when it's easy. If you're a country of the rule of law, if you're a country of values, you need to step up for those. And that's exactly what we're doing. In the face of pressure and increasingly coercive moves by one of the world's great powers, I think that really highlights at which point we need to be working together as allies, as neighbours, as friends, as countries. Very few countries could stand up on its own to a superpower, to a great power. But working together in alignment, we can make sure there is a recognition that the path that China is choosing to take right now is probably not going to be as effective, even for them, as they think it will.”

“China has sent a message to Ottawa that the trial of Meng case will be an important test of whether Canada will equally value its relations with China and make decisions independent of the US' influence on various issues in the future. The Chinese government's recent voices are also urging the Canadian judiciary to reveal more impartial and objective information of the case so that Canadian society, media and people around the world can know the truth.”

“I have often said that Canada needs an “eyes wide open” approach to China, in order to see the country as it is and not as corporate lobbyists would like it to be. While Trudeau bases his views on what he has been told by these circles, I have based my views on my own experiences: as a lawyer who investigated counterfeiting and other intellectual property issues based out of China; as a veteran who has been watching China’s military expansion and its ambitions in the Arctic; and as a Canadian who believes that we cannot ignore human rights abuses and bad conduct just because we want to grow our exports.”

“The blind adherence to the use of the rule of law and no ransom ensures that Kovrig and Spavor will remain forgotten within Chinese prisons for the foreseeable future. The offering of Meng Wanzhou in exchange for Kovrig and Spavor is the only answer.”

“It has been obvious from the beginning that this was a political decision made by the Chinese government and we deplore it and have from the very beginning. This using of arbitrary detention as a means to advance political gains is something that is fully unacceptable in a world based on rules.”

“This arbitrary detention of Canadian citizens is unacceptable and deeply concerning, not just to Canadians, but to people around the world who see China using arbitrary detentions as a means to political ends ... It has been obvious from the beginning that this was a political decision made by the Chinese government, and we deplore it and have from the very beginning.”

“Recent erroneous remarks by the Canadian side have clearly shown that Canada is practicing double standards on so-called issues of judicial independence. There is no such thing as arbitrary detention in China.”

“This is yet another arbitrary and baseless step in a case that has been arbitrary and baseless from day one. He has become an unfortunate pawn in a larger struggle among the U.S., Canada and China”
