Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Canadian officials are still reviewing evidence about the Gaza hospital blast that killed and maimed many Palestinian civilians and he’s not prepared to say who’s responsible. [!!!]

That’s a departure from what U.S. President Joe Biden and American national security services have said about the explosion.

“We are working closely with allies to determine exactly what happened,” Trudeau told a press conference with Caribbean leaders in Ottawa when asked if he accepted the Israeli version of events that has since been endorsed by the U.S. government.

The Israeli military has said a misfired rocket launched by Palestinian militants was behind the explosion.

Hamas has blamed an Israeli airstrike for the blast.

There are conflicting reports about how many people died in the blast.

“We saw some preliminary evidence but we’ll keep working with our allies as quickly as possible before reaching any firm and final conclusion,” Trudeau said in French, adding that many communities here in Canada are “personally affected in an intensive way by what happened over there.”

He said Canada is “taking the necessary time to look carefully at everything” before saying what it believes transpired Tuesday at the Anglican Church-run facility in Gaza City.
