TORONTO (AP) — Canada will restore funding to the United Nations relief agency for Palestinians, a government official tells The Associated Press, weeks after the agency lost hundreds of millions of dollars in support following Israeli allegations against some of its staffers in Gaza. Canada’s foreign minister is currently in the Middle East and plans to visit Israel. It is not clear when the announcement will be made.
