Trudeau urges pause in Israel-Hamas conflict, says Canada backs "sustainable ceasefire"

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for a resumption of a pause in the Israel-Hamas conflict, and says Canada supports efforts “towards a sustainable ceasefire.”

This language comes from a joint statement issued Tuesday from Trudeau and his Australian and New Zealand counterparts.

When asked during question period on Tuesday about Canada announcing it's support for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Trudeau said that in his opinion, “...the cost of justice cannot be the continued suffering of all Palestinian civilians.”

Trudeau added that Canada will "continue to work with allies around the world on moving towards a two-state solution with peace for Israelis and peace for Palestinians living side-by-side.”

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, Canada's foreign affairs minister Melanie Joly confirmed that Canada's official position was in support of an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, as well as in support of a two-state solution for long-term peace in the region.
