A group of Canadian health care workers accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government of being complicit in Israel’s onslaught in Gaza due to its inaction, Anadolu reports.

“One year ago, we demanded the Government of Canada publicly demand for a ceasefire, that the Canadian government publicly condemn Israel for targeting hospitals and targeting health care workers, and that the Government of Canada publicly condemn Israel for widespread violations of international humanitarian law, including the crime of genocide,” Ben Thomson, a public health, nephrology and general internal medicine doctor, said at a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

“We found the Canadian government’s complicity, failure to hold Israel to account has resulted in tens of thousands of dead Palestinian women and children,” he said, adding that more than 18,000 children have been killed by Israel.
