New Canadian foreign minister says Israel using lack of food as a tool in Gaza
- Anita Anand, Canada's newly appointed Foreign Minister, condemned Israel for restricting food supplies as part of its military actions in Gaza in 2025 and called for renewed efforts to establish a ceasefire with Hamas.
- This accusation follows Israel's full blockade of Gaza since March 2024 and its military campaign resuming after a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed.
- The conflict escalated after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages to Gaza.
- Anand condemned the exploitation of food supplies for political purposes as intolerable, while reports indicate that over 52,900 Palestinians have lost their lives and Gaza is facing severe food shortages.
- Anand urged renewed ceasefire efforts and emphasized Canada’s commitment to a two-state solution amid the ongoing aggression and humanitarian crisis.
