OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada says none of the 266 Canadians on Friday's list of foreign nationals approved to leave the Gaza Strip were able to get out.
A total of 107 people with connections to Canada crossed on Tuesday and Thursday, though the crossing was closed Wednesday because of what a U.S. State Department spokesperson described as a"security circumstance." Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Thursday that Canada's top official for consular cases was in the Middle East to try help securing the release of hostages being held by Hamas.
The images of airstrikes in Gaza have already fuelled a number of tense protests in Canada, and Trudeau said Friday he's concerned about Jews and Muslims being targeted.
