Ontario politicians spent most of the week putting off the business of government to talk about the Israel-Gaza conflict. Here's what happened this week.

The violence in the Middle East has dominated Queen’s Park over the last five days, leading to an emotional week for everyone who works in the Pink Palace.The post in question was published on Oct. 11 and was an apparent response to comments Jama made a day earlier in support of the Palestinian people.The premier said in the post that Jama has a “long and well-documented history of antisemitism.” and that she supports “the rape and murder of innocent Jewish people.

She apologized for her comments the next day. The Hamilton-Centre MPP does have a history of supporting the Palestinian cause and has been accused previously of being anti-Israel. When pressed about what he was thinking when he mouthed the words, he responded by saying: "What is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say 'fuddle duddle' or something like that?"The Ontario government tabled its latest Greenbelt legislation returning all land that was opened for development back in 2022.

The request stems from a trip Mississauga East-Cooksville MPP Kaleed Rasheed took along with then-principal secretary to Ford, Amin Massoudi. The two parties told the integrity commissioner they met up with developer Shakir Rehmatullah in the lobby of the hotel briefly. However, since then some discrepancies in their story were discovered.

In June, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said he was working on increasing wages for early childhood educators, but very little information has been provided since then.
