Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has publicly condemned Israel's plan to take over part of the Gaza Strip, calling the move 'wrong' and warning it would worsen the humanitarian crisis and endanger hostages. Carney reiterated Canada's demand for an immediate ceasefire and the return of hostages, emphasizing that Hamas should have no role in Gaza's future. His comments align with similar statements from French and German leaders, with France condemning the plan and Germany announcing an arms embargo on Israel. Carney's stance follows Canada's recent commitment to recognize the State of Palestine under certain conditions and ongoing criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by urging Carney to retract his statement, defending Israel's actions as a just war against Hamas.
