Canada was one of the only G7 countries not to sign onto a joint statement denouncing Hamas terrorists.
Major powers in the Western world decried the barbaric terrorist attacks by Hamas militants in Israel through a joint statement issued on Monday.
Missing from the signatures was Canada and Justin Trudeau. While some have argued that Canada was not asked to sign onto the agreement, others speculated it was because Trudeau refused.
“How do you know that Canada was not asked [to sign the joint statement]? Are you sure Canada wasn’t asked, but Trudeau declined?,” wrote Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant on X (Twitter).
If Trudeau refused to sign onto the agreement, it could be said that the Canadian prime minister is supportive of Hamas terrorists, or at the very least, unwilling to condemn the organization.
Toronto 99 reached out to the prime minister’s office for clarification, but did not receive an immediate response.
On Monday night, Trudeau issued a statement condemning Hamas, which was broadcast by CPAC. This has quelled rumours that the Canadian prime minister is supportive of the radical Islamic terror group.
