Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Israel’s military actions in the Gaza Strip, meant to clear Hamas militants from the Palestinian territory, are making it harder to achieve long-term stability in the region.
Speaking to reporters at the APEC summit in San Francisco, Trudeau said the path to a viable two-state solution “is getting more difficult with all the hardship that Palestinians are going through.”
The prime minister said he is also disturbed by “Canadians lashing out in anger” against each other during the latest Israel-Hamas war, mentioning Jewish schools targeted by overnight gunfire and acts of Islamophobia.
