Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling on Hamas to immediately release its hostages, which may include at least three Canadians.

Today marks the first time Trudeau spoke in Parliament since fighters stormed into Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of people and taking a reported 199 people hostage.
