Canada’s foreign minister says Israel’s invasion of the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip is “completely unacceptable,” and she’s holding out hope that ceasefire talks will prevail.

Israeli officials announced on May 7 that the country approved a military operation into the border city, and Israeli forces began striking targets in the area.
