With the Israel-Hamas war now in its third month, the UN General Assembly vote this week demanding a ceasefire in Gaza shows how global opinion is shifting as the civilian death toll continues to rise.
In late October, Canada abstained when another resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in Gaza passed with 120 votes in favour.
This time, Canada joined the 153 countries voting in favour of demanding a ceasefire Tuesday, with just 10 against, including the U.S. and Israel, and 23 abstaining.
It’s the strongest statement to come out of the UN on the conflict since Israel launched a military operation in Gaza
