Trudeau condemns brawl at Concordia, gunfire at 2 Jewish schools in Montreal: "Not who we are"
Amid a recent series of violence in Montreal that saw tensions between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli student groups at Concordia University escalate into a brawl on Wednesday and bullet holes found on the exterior of two Jewish schools overnight, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the increase in threats and violent antisemitism.
Trudeau also urged during the Montreal press conference on Thursday that "humanitarian pauses" to temporarily end fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip must “last long enough” for people to leave the area and for aid to arrive. Trudeau told reporters that the pauses could create an opportunity to think about how Israelis and Palestinians could live beside each other in peace in the longer term.
His remarks came as a response to a question after the White House announced that Israel has agreed to put in place four-hour daily humanitarian pauses in its assault on Hamas in northern Gaza, beginning the same day. U.S. President Joe Biden says the move came after he urged that Israel cease bombardment for three or more days in the hopes that Hamas would release hostages, but he says there was "no possibility" of a ceasefire.
“No matter how strongly felt your fears or convictions are, it doesn't give you the right to do what we saw yesterday at Concordia or in the shots fired at Jewish schools today in Montreal. These are not who we are,” Trudeau said.
