rime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to Benny Gantz — Israel's former defence minister who now serves in the wartime cabinet — hours after his critical comments about the war effort ignited an Israeli backlash.
In a readout sent to reporters Thursday, the Prime Minister's Office said that in his conversation with Gantz on Wednesday, Trudeau reaffirmed Canada's "longstanding support for Israel and its right to defend itself in accordance with international law" and condemned Hamas's "terrorist attacks" and its use of Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Trudeau also stressed that Israel needs to take "all possible measures to protect civilians and minimize casualties," the PMO said.
Trudeau, who made the call on the sidelines of the APEC summit in San Francisco, cited the recent spike in antisemitic incidents in Canada and the two leaders "agreed on the need to address it head-on," the PMO said.
In a statement on social media, Gantz said Trudeau voiced his support for Israel and its "right to self defence."
"We discussed the war's development in Gaza, the atrocious Hamas terror attack and the efforts to release the hostages held in Gaza immediately," Gantz said.
Gantz served in senior roles in the last Israeli government before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the reins of power following the December 2022 parliamentary election.
He then agreed to join Netanyahu's cabinet as a minister without portfolio after Hamas's brutal Oct. 7 attack.
The inclusion of Gantz, who is not a member of Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party, was a show of national solidarity in the face of Hamas, which has vowed to destroy Israel.
Gantz is the leader of National Unity, a centrist party.
Trudeau's comments came on a day when Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital was grappling with an increasingly dire situation. A lack of water, power and internet service is threatening Al-Shifa's patients, including babies in incubators.
Worsening conditions in the hospital have made it a focus of international alarm. Thousands of patients, medical staff and displaced people have been trapped in the hospital by an Israeli assault on Gaza over the past five weeks.
The Israeli military took control of the hospital on Wednesday.
Israel has claimed Hamas used the site as a secret base. Relatively little evidence has been presented publicly to support that assertion.

Is tradeau still handing out awards to Nazis?
Canadian news media is even more Orwellian than ours.
Somewhere, there is an organ grinder with a broken leash looking for Trudeau.
What the hell does Trudeau know about fighting a war against the Muzzies?
Truedumb sucking up to a nazi

T is an idiot, WEF loser who has to double back on things he says. What a shame Canadians are too stupid to elect someone better, like a dog, but I suspect their elections are more rigged than ours
Lol. Trasker had no problem turning absolutely no evidence into an attack on Trump. Another weasel.
I’m trying to figure out why I hate Trudeau worse than other vile dirt bags like Putin and Xi. It’s probably because those two fought their way to the top in very brutal political systems. Yeah they are rotten b@st@rds but they earned their b@st@rdhood. Troodles is a weasel who got where he is by pull.
No offense intended to our little animal friends. They can’t help being weasels. Troodles is one by choice
Chrystia Freeland is still his finance minister... She knows how to save a buck from her grandfather. He saved a pile of money during World War 2 when the NAZI’s gave him a house and printing press in Krakow that had formerly been owned by a Jewish family, who they had sent off to the gas chambers.
He printed a pro NAZI newspaper that encouraged Ukrainian’s to join the NAZI cause.
She pines on many times in her bios throughout her journalistic and political career about the great influence her grandfather had on her. Her Fascist NAZI Jew Hating grandfather was her primary inspiration.
HUH? SIGNIFICANT evidence has proven this ten times over.
Was Trudeau dressed like a Rabbi ?
Presume the Jews are trying to rob the gentlemen, but more likely trying to get their money back.
Note the armband with the Star of David, this would have been pre summer 1941. I believe the required badge was a circular badge of yellow worn front and back. They didn't get to wear those very long.
No rigging required when the population has been propagandized into Leftism.
Even the “Conservatives” here are globalist fakes.
I recall all the French canucks we had trashing lake side camps on Lake Champlain in the winter and the fall just south of Plattsburgh, NY. I figure Vermont near the Lake had the same problems We had from north of Burlington to South of it. What disturbs me is all the youngsters who think they know it all today. In 1957-60 my father took us to concentration camps his division had hit and opened in WWII. I believe the younger generation knows very little about our history. Anyone who thinks Jewish people had an easy time needs serious help.
Now that he’s left his wife he can begin the full transitioning... His name is suitable enough... He only has to add an ‘e’.
The odd part... They found the Halloween costumes where he dressed up in blackface, and couldn’t find any where he dressed up as a woman? Pretty sure he dressed as a woman on more than one occasion.
He may have broke into a dance like a Rabbi though.
