Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially endorsed the proposal put forth by US President Joe Biden to bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
In a statement released on Friday, Trudeau expressed his support for the plan, which calls for a ceasefire and a winding down of the violence that has been escalating in the region for the past week.
Trudeau stated that Canada is deeply concerned about the situation in the Middle East and the impact it is having on innocent civilians, particularly children. He emphasized the need for an immediate end to the violence and for all parties involved to work towards a lasting peace.
The proposal outlined by Biden includes a call for both sides to cease all hostilities, as well as for Israel to stop its airstrikes on Gaza and for Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel. It also calls for the international community to provide humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict.
Trudeau also reiterated Canada’s support for a two-state solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security. He urged all parties to engage in meaningful dialogue and to work towards a peaceful resolution.
The Prime Minister’s endorsement of the proposal comes after days of mounting pressure from opposition leaders and the Canadian public to take a stronger stance on the conflict. Many have criticized Trudeau for not speaking out sooner and for not taking a more decisive approach.
However, with his endorsement of the Biden proposal, Trudeau has made it clear that Canada stands with the international community in calling for an end to the violence and a path towards peace in the Middle East.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the deaths of over 200 people, including many civilians, and has sparked widespread protests and condemnation around the world. As the situation continues to escalate, it is hoped that the proposal endorsed by Trudeau and Biden will bring about a much-needed ceasefire and pave the way for a lasting resolution to the conflict.
