Canada reiterates call for immediate ceasefire: "The suffering in Gaza must end"

Following confirmation that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed at the hands of the IDF, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement reiterating his call for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza. Sinwar was the mastermind of the attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.

Today delivers a measure of justice for his victims and their families. Sinwar’s death ends a reign of terror.

“Hamas must lay down its arms, release the hostages and play no future role in the governance of Gaza. We repeat our call for an immediate ceasefire. The suffering in Gaza must end.”
