Canada votes in favour of UN resolution calling for Israel-Hamas ceasefire
Canada was among 153 nations voting in favour of the non-binding United Nations resolution pushing for "an immediate humanitarian ceasefire" in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
There were 23 abstentions and 10 votes against the resolution.
Canada's vote represents a major shift in its long-standing position of voting with Israel on major resolutions at the international body.
This comes after the prime ministers of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand called for “international efforts towards a sustainable ceasefire” in a joint statement.
