“Canada has sanctioned two Israeli ministers and some violent settlers in the West Bank. We want all sides to stop fighting and keep ceasefire agreements. We are working with allies to lower tensions, protect trade routes, and send aid to the region.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will close by reiterating Canada’s position. We have indeed issued sanctions on two key ministers in the Netanyahu government, and we have issued sanctions on some settlers who have perpetrated violence in the West Bank. At the same time, we will call on all parties to stop hostilities and to uphold ceasefire agreements. A lasting peace in any region will only be achieved through diplomacy, dialogue and sustained negotiations. Canada is working closely with allies and partners in reducing tensions, trying to safeguard the free flow of trade through the Strait of Hormuz and supporting the stability that underpins global economic security, while continuing humanitarian aid and the building up of democratic institutions and the people of the region.”
