Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Hostage Release

Canada expresses gratitude to the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye for their efforts in securing the release of hostages under the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

The release of hostages is a moment of profound relief. After over two years of suffering, today families are finally reunited.

We remember the victims of Hamas' terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, including Canadians Vivian Silver, Netta Epstein, Alexandre Look, Judih Weinstein, Shir Georgy, Ben Mizrachi, and Adi Vital-Kaploun.

The release of hostages must be a turning point toward lasting peace.
