Canada condemns Israel’s offensive

Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza have sparked sharp condemnation. The decision to conduct a new ground offensive was noted as having a negative impact on the humanitarian situation and the hostage release process. Canada’s Ministry of Finance emphasizes the need to comply with international law.

Additionally, Canadian diplomats stated a joint position with international partners, demanding an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and the release of all hostages. On September 16, Israeli forces (IDF) initiated a ground operation aimed at controlling Gaza, as reported by anonymous sources on the news site Axios.

In light of these events, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar criticized the European Commission’s decision on possible sanctions against Israel due to the humanitarian situation in Gaza. He called such measures “disproportionate” and “unprecedented,” adding that similar actions towards other countries were never proposed.
