Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling for Israel’s control of aid distribution to be replaced amid reports of mass starvation in Gaza.
His statement comes hours after French President Emmanuel Macron announced on X that he intends for his country to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
“Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations,” Carney said in a news statement Thursday evening. “Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians.”
He added that Canada supports a two-state solution “which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.”
