Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged divergent views, and common fears, among his Liberal MPs over the Israel-Hamas war on Friday, when he also faced an unfriendly crowd during a visit to a mosque.
Some Liberal MPs are joining calls by Muslim groups for Canada to push for a ceasefire in the region, while major Canadian Jewish groups have demanded Trudeau retract an earlier comment they view as lending credence to the claim by Hamas that Israel was responsible for an attack on a hospital in Gaza City.
Toronto-area Liberal MP Salma Zahid, who is chair of the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group, said Friday that she worked with 33 MPs to send a letter to the prime minister that laid out certain demands. Another video posted online by Liberal MP Shafqat Ali shows the group sitting quietly as Trudeau discusses advocacy to protect civilians in Gaza and the importance of respecting neighbours in tough times.
Trudeau has also faced growing pressure to state his position on who was responsible for Tuesday's deadly blast at a hospital in Gaza, which officials in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory had quickly blamed on an Israeli airstrike. Asked again about attribution for the attack on Friday, Trudeau reiterated that he is still trying to figure out the facts. "We are working with our allies internationally to make sure that we can determine exactly what happened."
Conservative MP Michael Chong, the party's foreign affairs critic, warned earlier this week that Canada's solidarity with Israel in the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas would be "tested" in the days ahead, saying everyone should "resist the temptation to call for a ceasefire." Trudeau also said Canada remains committed to a two-state solution to the escalating Arab-Israeli conflict.
Those restrictions have been ramped up to what Israel calls a "total siege" on water, food and electricity entering Gaza, with few exceptions. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 20, 2023. With files from The Associated Press and Mickey Djuric in Ottawa.
