Canadian Armed Forces Airdrop Aireop Humanitistari Aid in Gaza – Watani star-news.press/wp

Federal ministers said that the Canadian Armed Forces shot down new humanitarian assistance on Gaza on Monday.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand and Defense Secretary David McGilli said in a press statement that the Hercules CC-130j aircraft conducted about 10,000 kilograms of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.

The agency said: “Canada takes these exceptional measures with our international partners because reaching humanitarian aid in Gaza is strongly restricted, and humanitarian needs have reached an unprecedented level.”

Airdrop came just a few days after sending Canadian aid to Gaza. This effort was made by Jordan, which borders Israel and the West Bank. At that time, Anand posted a picture of platforms with Canadian flags registered with them.

Global affairs in Canada in the release said that improving the humanitarian conditions of the Palestinians requires a “great expansion” for help, and repeat previous calls for safe access and guaranteed humanitarian organizations.

The agency said that this includes rapid approval of customs permits and all humanitarian commodities in Gaza and to issue long -term visas for relief workers.

Last week, Anand said Ottawa had trucks of aid ready to reach the Palestinians, but it was relying on Israel to allow them to pass.

Anand said that Jordan allowed Nada to help pre -sites to allow Israel to enter the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, Airdrop followed Prime Minister Mark Carne’s announcement that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Carney said that the intention relied on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to reforms, including the basic reform of its rule, and for general elections in 2026, “where Hamas cannot play any role.”

Carney said the changes also require the removal of inspiration for the Palestinian state.

The Prime Minister’s office said on Thursday that Carney “reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to a two -state solution” in a call with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. He also said in a reading that Abbas had committed to the reforms.

Carney cited work such as increasing settlements by Israel and restrictions on assistance in Gaza, and she undermined hope to achieve a solution from the two countries through the negotiation process.

“This obstructing aid is a violation of international humanitarian law and must end immediately,” read on Monday.

Israel and the United States have criticized this step to recognize a Palestinian state, and the nearest ally of Israel, as US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that it would make it “very difficult” to conclude a business deal with Canada.
