Bruce Cockburn: 50 years of music, spirituality and social justice | SaltWireOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it is “imperative” that Israel respect international law and allow humanitarian access in the Gaza Strip, where one million people have been displaced in the first week of the war with terrorist organization Hamas.
Israel’s military has told Palestinian civilians to get out of the northern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of a possible ground invasion, and has demanded that Hamas return dozens of hostages taken from Israel. An exit agreement for civilians through Gaza’s southern border with Egypt that international negotiators had hoped for has not materialized.
“Canada is calling for unimpeded humanitarian access and a humanitarian corridor so that essential aid like food, fuel and water can be delivered to civilians in Gaza. It is imperative that this happen,” reiterated Trudeau.
Joly has also been urging Canadians in Lebanon to consider leaving while commercial flights remain available, warning that the conflict might escalate further in the Middle East. “Let me be clear about Hamas. They are not freedom fighters. They are not a resistance. They are terrorists,” he added.The House of Commons was set to hold an emergency debate on the situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank on Monday evening, where NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is expected to speak. This past weekend, delegates at the NDP convention adopted an emergency resolution calling for a ceasefire and for an end to Israel’s “total siege” of Gaza.
