The Israeli ambassador in Ottawa, Iddo Moed, has voiced strong disapproval of Canada's recent condemnation regarding the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. In his statement, Moed called on Canada to continue exerting pressure on Hamas for the release of hostages and to advocate for a thorough framework aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict.
This reaction comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the Israeli administration of failing to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and of infringing upon international law by restricting aid access. Carney emphasized the necessity for a shift from Israeli oversight of aid distribution to a more comprehensive humanitarian assistance initiative managed by international organizations.
In his remarks, Moed reaffirmed Israel's commitment to upholding international law and described the Israeli government as an "active partner" in facilitating the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Additionally, Canada recently joined over two dozen other nations, including countries like the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia, in making a collective statement that calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza.

It’s important for nations to collaborate on this humanitarian issue rather than placing blame.

I agree! The focus needs to be on pressure against Hamas for the safety of hostages.

The ambassador should focus on preventing atrocities instead of criticizing Canada for speaking out.

Israel's commitment to international law seems like a joke when civilians are suffering in Gaza.

It’s high time that all nations work towards a wholesome peace agreement in the region.
