Canada is not among the signatories of a joint statement issued by some of the nation’s closest allies on Israel.
“Today, we—President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States—express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism,” said the Oct. 9 statement issued by the U.S. White House Briefing Room.
