Canada’s foreign ministry on Tuesday called Israel’s new ground offensive in Gaza City “horrific.”

“It worsens the humanitarian crisis and jeopardizes the release of the hostages,” the foreign ministry said in a post on X. “The Government of Israel must adhere to international law.”

“Canada stands with international partners in urging an immediate and permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian aid and the release of all hostages,” the foreign minister said in a second post.
