Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has described Israel’s treatment of civilians aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla as “horrific” and “unacceptable.” He made the remarks during a phone conversation with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, according to a statement shared on social media platform X. The discussion focused on the recent incident involving the flotilla carrying humanitarian supplies toward Gaza.

In his statement, Carney emphasized the need to reduce tensions in the Middle East and called for the resumption of sincere dialogue among all parties. He underscored that progress toward peace and stability in the region must remain a clear and shared objective. The comments reflect Canada’s concern over the humanitarian and diplomatic implications of Israel’s actions toward the flotilla.

The exchange between the two leaders highlights ongoing international scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in the region and renewed calls for de-escalation and dialogue to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
