This is not a shout-out any government should ever want: an open thank you from senior Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, expressing his gratitude to the Trudeau government.
Canada voted in favor of a UN resolution demanding an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza, following Trudeau’s hosting of Palestinian Authority and Turkish leaders to speak on behalf of “Muslim people.”
“’EMBARRASSING:’ Hamas thanks Liberal gov’t for ceasefire support,” Postmedia News, December 20, 2023:
Social media users were quick to voice their outrage after a spokesperson for Hamas thanked the Liberal government following Canada’s vote in favour of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
“We welcome these developments and consider them in the right direction towards isolation of the fascist Israeli government globally and ending the long evil occupation in our modern time,” senior Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad said in a video posted to social media site X.
Hamad also commended Australia and New Zealand.
Last Tuesday, Canada voted in favour of a non-binding United Nations resolution that calls for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the war.
