This is the best summary I could come up with:
While the prime minister did not explicitly call for a ceasefire, he said the “violence needs to stop urgently” so Palestinians can get access to lifesaving medical services, food, fuel and water.
But Trudeau’s comments on Tuesday were interpreted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an unnecessarily strong rebuke of his country’s war effort.
Michael Levitt, a former Liberal MP who now serves as the president and CEO of the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish rights group, said Trudeau’s “reckless accusations against Israel are deeply concerning.”
"His words, which belie the facts on the ground in the war between a fellow democracy and a genocidal terror group, may have been meant to deliver a message overseas but that’s not the only place they landed," he said in a social media post.
Trudeau’s remarks come as Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital faces an increasingly dire situation, with a lack of water, power and internet service threatening patients, including babies in incubators.
White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that intelligence has confirmed Hamas has used tunnels underneath Al-Shifa and other hospitals to conceal military operations and hold hostages.
