Montreal, October 9, 2025 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) awaits the implementation of the first stages of a “peace deal” in Gaza, but urges the Canadian government to increase its pressure on Israel to ensure that it does not resume its genocidal assault. CJPME further warns that US President Trump’s “20-point plan” does not offer an acceptable long-term solution for Palestine and argues that Prime Minister Carney must use this moment to push for a swift and permanent end to Israel’s illegal occupation and siege.
