Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today criticized his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau for his appeal to Israel to stop killing women and children in the Gaza Strip, while calling again on the international community to support his country’s fight against Hamas.
“It is not Israel that deliberately targets civilians, it is Hamas that decapitates, burns and slaughters civilians in one of the worst atrocities committed against the Jews since the Holocaust,” Netanyahu wrote on X addressing Trudeau early this morning.
“The forces of civilization must support Israel to defeat the brutality of Hamas”he added.
Yesterday, Tuesday, the Canadian Prime Minister called on the Israeli government to “exercise the utmost restraint. People are watching on TV, on social media, we are hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, children who have lost their parents.”
“The world is witnessing the murders of women, children, babies. This has to stop,” Trudeau stressed during a press conference from British Columbia.
“The price of justice cannot be the continued suffering of all Palestinian civilians,” he added. “All wars have rules. All innocent lives have the same value. Israeli and Palestinian,” he emphasized.
At the same time, Trudeau asked Hamas to stop using civilians as human shields and to release all the hostages it is holding “immediately and unconditionally”.
“While Israel is doing everything to protect civilians from harm, Hamas is doing everything it can to keep them close to harm,” Netanyahu complained.
“Israel offers civilians in Gaza humanitarian corridors and safe zones, Hamas prevents them from leaving at gunpoint,” he added in his post.
“Hamas, not Israel, should be held accountable for committing a double war crime: targeting civilians while hiding behind civilians,” the Israeli prime minister said.
Canada has stressed that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas, following the Palestinian movement’s deadly attack that killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians. But like the US and other Israeli allies, Ottawa has expressed concern about the rising death toll in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas’ health ministry has said more than 11,000 people have been killed since October 7.
