Canada does not support Israel's offensive

"The new Israeli ground offensive in Gaza City is appalling. It is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and jeopardizing the release of hostages. The Israeli government must abide by international law," the Canadian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

In addition, the diplomatic department emphasized that Canada, together with international allies, demands an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, unlimited humanitarian assistance, and the release of all hostages.

As previously mentioned, on September 16, the Israeli Armed Forces (IDF) launched a ground operation to capture Gaza City.

This was reported by the news site Axios, citing anonymous Israeli officials.

In light of recent events, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar harshly criticized the European Commission's decision to propose sanctions against his country amid the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Saar said that such a proposal has never been implemented in the case of other countries.
