OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat down behind closed doors with senior members of opposition parties on Thursday to discuss Canada's approach to the latest conflict between Israel and the armed militant group Hamas.
"My greatest preoccupation is here at home, where people are grieving, people are angry, people are hurt, people are worried for their loved ones," Trudeau told reporters on Parliament Hill.
His office said the meeting included NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Conservative foreign-affairs critic Michael Chong. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was in Nova Scotia on Thursday.Blanchet said he had argued that a closed-door meeting might be more informative than heated exchanges in the House of Commons, which, he said in French, can be"a bit undignified.
But Canada has not called for the territory to receive fuel. Israel has said it fears Hamas would use fuel for rocket attacks. Aid groups say it is vital to maintain health services. "Grief, suffering and loss do not create winning conditions for long-term peace, justice and healthy relationships," said Rev. Éric Hébert-Daly, the regional executive minister for eastern Ontario and Quebec.
Global Affairs Canada said trucks Israel has allowed to bring aid into the territory represent only"a small fraction of what is needed to address the needs of Palestinian civilians." Canada designates Hamas as a terrorist group and Trudeau has continued to say that Israel has the right to defend itself.
