OTTAWA—Canada is not calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war because the Liberal government does not believe Hamas would respect any pause in hostilities, Defence Minister Bill Blair said Tuesday.
“Israel was the victim of a terrorist attack. That threat still exists for them and we’ve acknowledged that they (Israel) under international law have a right to defend themselves,” Blair said on his way to a cabinet meeting.
In other words, Israel won’t listen to us anyways.
