Attribute to Noah Shack, Interim President, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs:
“For the past 469 days, our Jewish community alongside Canadians from all backgrounds have been seized with the shared objective of returning the innocent babies, children, grandparents, men, and women who were taken by Hamas and other terrorists.
“We remain horrified by the brutality of the October 7 massacre and the inhumane treatment of the hostages. We also recognize the painful concessions that Israel has been willing to make through this agreement, including the release of Palestinian terrorists convicted of murder.
"Yet, today at this pivotal moment, as they have been every day for the past 15 months, our thoughts are with the hostages and their families.
“Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel as they navigate a crisis that no country should have to go through.”
