Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is reacting to recent videos of emaciated Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip, saying they should be immediately released.
“The haunting images of Israeli hostages being held captive by Hamas are stark reminders of the horrors they have endured for more than 660 days,” Anand said in an Aug. 3 statement. “The immediate release of all hostages from Gaza is imperative.”
