Mike Morrice has been an advocate for a strong Canadian response to the war in Gaza and Palestine. He has called for an immediate ceasefire, emphasizing the humanitarian consequences and the high number of civilian casualties. Morrice has urged the Canadian government to align its actions with its calls for peace by taking concrete steps such as re-funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). A key aspect of his stance is the call for a true two-way arms embargo on Israel, arguing that Canada should not be permitting military equipment exports that could contribute to the conflict. Morrice is a supporter of recognizing the state of Palestine, viewing it as a crucial step towards achieving a lasting two-state solution and bringing security to both Israelis and Palestinians. He has actively used his platform in Parliament to raise these issues, including presenting petitions demanding a ceasefire, the lifting of the blockade on Gaza, and adherence to international humanitarian law.
