Israeli and Palestinian advocates argue separately on Parliament Hill about the focus of Canada's efforts amidst the Israel-Hamas hostilities. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly emphasizes the urgent need for a humanitarian agreement to help people in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
OTTAWA — A temporary respite from Israel - Hamas hostilities should not be Canada 's focus, Israel i and Palestinian advocates argued separately on Parliament Hill Monday, even as the Canadian government continued to push for" humanitarian pauses ."
Joly reiterated Canada's unequivocal condemnation of Hamas, which it deems a terrorist group, for the attacks. She said Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorism"in accordance with international law.""Is that what civilians deserve, who have done nothing wrong, to take a coffee break before jumping right back into being butchered?" said Justice For All Canada advocate Ahmad Al-Qadi during a Monday press conference.
Israel's ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, said that Israel would like to deliver more humanitarian aid but his country is hampered by the actions of Hamas, which he said often diverts supplies and money meant for civilians.In her speech, Joly urged Hamas to release more than 200 hostages held in Gaza, which she said may include two Canadians who are still missing. Hamas has let four hostages go to date.
Zeigen was speaking at a press conference facilitated by the Israeli government. It included people related to Israelis who were either killed by Hamas or suspected of being taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7. Israeli tanks and troops were pushing deeper into Gaza on Monday, where conditions for civilians are deteriorating as food, medicine and fuel run dangerously low.
On Sunday, 33 trucks of humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip from Egypt. Relief workers say the amount is still far less than what is needed for the population of 2.3 million people.
