The whole (brief) press release is worth reading IMO, but here's a snippet:

ICJP LWGCA [~~International Council of Jewish Parliamentarians~~ International Centre of Justice for Palestinians Legal Working Group for Canadian Accountability] calls on the Government of Canada to end its complicity in war crimes by calling for a ceasefire, canceling all arms exports permits to Israel, prosecute those recruiting Canadian volunteers for Israel’s armed forces, and prevent Canadian charities from using donations to benefit Israel’s armed forces.

ICJP - International Centre of Justice for Palestinians

Where'd you get Council of Jewish Parliamentarians?

I appreciate the correction - you're completely right. The group behind this is indeed, International Centre of Justice for Palestinians. I overlooked the fact that the different groups might use the same acronym - not my brightest moment. Thank you for pointing this out!

And I didn't realize there was a Council of Jewish Parliamentarians.

The more you know.
