OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saidThursday that Canada is working with allies to determine"exactly what happened" in the blast at a hospital in Gaza City earlier this week that has become a flashpoint in the Israel-Hamas war.
Pressure began to mount on Trudeau to clarify which side he thinks is responsible after United States President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the region on Wednesday that it appeared the hospital blast was perpetrated"by the other team, not you." "It's having an impact, a deep, direct, personal impact, on individuals, on families, on communities here in Canada."
The latest conflict began when Hamas, which Canada has deemed a terrorist entity for more than 20 years, conducted surprise attacks on Israeli citizens on Oct. 7. Israel declared war in response and has been raining airstrikes on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Israel announced during Biden's visit that it approved a plan that would allow Egypt to deliver some supplies into Gaza, which is home to more than two million people.
Global Affairs Canada says that so far, around 1,400 Canadians, permanent residents and their families have been taken out of Israel on Canadian-arranged flights from Tel Aviv to Athens.
