Canada’s response to the crisis in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip

The security situation remains volatile and unpredictable in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel, conducted by Hamas, which Canada unequivocally condemns.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties. Heightened tensions in the region could pose further security risks. Canada is deeply concerned about the plight of hostages held in Gaza and calls for their immediate release.

Canada remains concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the terrible situation for the civilian population, and for humanitarian actors seeking to provide assistance. The security and economic situation in the West Bank is also of concern. Frequent military operations throughout the West Bank, as well as rising extremist settler violence against Palestinians has led to hundreds of casualties and has resulted in clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians.
