Mr. Speaker, hundreds of Canadians are stranded in Gaza. We have heard the distressing accounts of Canadian citizens who have been told to evacuate but have nowhere to go. Water, food and medicine are running out. Canadians waiting at the closed Rafah border crossing are pleading for help, saying they are looking for any glimpse of hope. Lives are at risk. We cannot abandon them or the hostages. Will the Prime Minister ensure today that all Canadians can safely get out of Gaza?

Mr. Speaker, we have to put a stop to the death and destruction going on in Israel and Palestine. We just learned that a hospital may have been hit in Gaza. The New Democrats have called for the release of hostages and a ceasefire. Some Liberal members also called for a ceasefire, but the Prime Minister rejected these calls. Is the Prime Minister willing to agree today that Canada must now push for the release of the hostages and a ceasefire?
