• In the news today: Defence Minister to face questions about Gaza hospital blast
• Bill Blair says he oversaw culture change at Toronto police, not everyone agrees Israel has said satellite evidence and intercepted communications show the rocket was fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and French authorities say the size of the rocket itself points to Palestinian not Israeli sources. The Department of National Defence in Canada says it is basing its determination on an analysis of the blast damage at the hospital, including adjacent buildings, as well as the incoming munition’s flight pattern. Following the release of Canada’s conclusion on the source of the blast, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke Sunday with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Trudeau also spoke Sunday with leaders from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy. Both calls discussed the need for all remaining hostages to be released and for the protection of civilians.
A weekend conference in Egypt seeking a route to peace left more questions than answers about what may happen next in the latest Israel-Hamas war, with 1,400 Israelis killed in the initial Hamas attack and at least 4,600 Palestinians in the subsequent Israeli airstrikes. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly was in attendance at the conference in Cairo and her office said she may be able to speak to reporters about the event today. Canada has been calling for Israel and Egypt to do more to ensure needed humanitarian aid gets into Gaza. An initial small shipment of food, medical supplies and fuel was made over the weekend but the need is high. Joly herself last week called Gaza the worst place in the world to live right now. Egypt and Jordan both made clear at the summit that they will not allow Israel to push 2.3 million Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, while Israel has made clear it intends to continue its military action until Hamas has been rooted out. The latest conflict began on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants attacked Israel with rockets and a ground assault across the border with the Gaza Strip border, hitting a music festival and several agricultural co-operatives known as kibbutzim.
The attack killed 1,400 people, including at least six Canadians, injured several thousand others and saw Hamas take more than 200 people hostage, including children. Israel responded with force, firing rockets into Gaza, and the fighting has since killed an estimated 4,600 Palestinians. Hamas is a militant organization that took control in the Gaza Strip in 2007. Canada has labelled Hamas a terrorist organization since 2002. Israel and Egypt both blockaded Gaza after Hamas took over.
