Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he expects compliance with the International Court of Justice’s recent demand that military operations in Rafah stop immediately.

“Canada’s position has been clear for many, many weeks now. We need an immediate ceasefire. Hamas needs to lay down its arms, release all hostages, but there also must be no more military operations in Rafah by Israel,” Mr. Trudeau said on May 24 during a news conference in Halifax.
