The rally was one of over two dozen held in Canadian cities on Saturday, calling for humanitarian aid and an end to Canada's support for Israel's military action against Hamas.
Police said the demonstration was peaceful and no arrests were reported. The rally was one of many held in more than two dozen Canadian cities on Saturday, including Ottawa and Toronto.
In a statement, Joly said she spoke with her Israeli counterpart Foreign Affairs Minister Eli Cohen and “received assurances that Canadians and their families will be able to leave Gaza beginning in the coming days.” Federal officials tell Global News that could happen “as early as Sunday.” “It’s a very legitimate concern,” Consul General of Israel Paul Hirschson said. “We hold Hamas accountable for their safety.”
“We need to see a cease-, we need to see a humanitarian pause so we can flow, we need ceasing of the levels of violence that we’re seeing,” he said. “We need to see civilians protected, we need to see a humanitarian pause to get aid in, to get Canadians out, to get vulnerable people out, to get hostages released. These are the things that the people around the world are looking for.”
