Today we mark the painful anniversary of one year since the horrific Hamas terror attacks in Israel. 1,200 people were killed - Israelis, foreign nationals, and dual citizens, including eight Canadians. 6,900 others were injured, and over 250 were taken hostage to Gaza. 105 hostages were released during a six-day ceasefire at the end of November, eight were rescued by the IDF, and four were released by Hamas. 37 bodies have been repatriated to Israel. 101 hostages remain in Gaza. Over 100,000 Israelis have been displaced from both the North and South of the country, with no clear timeline or resolution for return.
JSpaceCanada strongly condemns the missile attack from the Iranian government on Israel which occurred in the late evening hours in Israel.
JSpaceCanada applauds the news that the Canadian Foreign Affairs Committee has passed a motion to study steps toward Canada’s recognition of the State of Palestine.
JSpaceCanada welcomes today’s announcement from the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, of a third round of sanctions on four individuals and two entities for their role in facilitating, supporting, or financially contributing to acts of violence against Palestinian civilians and their property in the occupied West Bank.
