Israel's recent ground attack in Gaza deemed disastrous by Canada
Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement expressing concern over Israel's recent ground offensive in Gaza, calling for immediate and sustained ceasefire, unlimited humanitarian aid, and the release of all hostages.
The offensive, according to the statement, exacerbates the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. Canada, along with international partners, is urging Israel to take actions that adhere to international law. The details of the hostages in question, however, remain undisclosed.
The statement, made on social media, is a clear response to Israel's ground operation aimed at capturing Gaza City, as reported by news site Axios, citing anonymous Israeli officials. Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also expressed that the offensive is horrifying.
In addition, the European Commission has proposed to impose sanctions on Israel amidst the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. However, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has criticized this proposal.
The statement from Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not specify the actions that Israel's government should take to uphold international law or the international partners that are calling for the ceasefire and humanitarian aid. It does emphasize that the ongoing conflict puts the release of hostages at risk.
This is not the first time Canada has spoken out against the situation in Gaza. Previously, the Canadian government has urged both Israel and Palestinian authorities to refrain from actions that escalate tensions and undermine prospects for peace. The current statement underscores Canada's commitment to upholding international law and promoting peace and stability in the region.
