Canada has joined the chorus of countries welcoming Hamas’s response to Trump’s plan.

“Canada welcomes commitments from Hamas to relinquish power and release all remaining hostages, living and deceased,” PM Mark Carney said on X, thanking Trump for his “essential leadership”.

“We stand ready to support the sustained, unimpeded, and large-scale delivery of humanitarian aid into and throughout Gaza.”

Canada was among several Western countries to recently recognise a Palestinian state.
