Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday reaffirmed the country's support for Ukraine in his first face-to-face meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy since winning the election, BBC reported.

"Canadian people will stand in steadfast and unwavering support ... we underscore that there can be no peace without the full support and participation of Ukraine, and that you have our absolute support," Carney told Zelenskiy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he would speak to the presidents of Russia and Ukraine on Monday.

Carney also met other world leaders, including his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni, President of Italy Sergio Mattarella and European Commission President Ursula von de Leyen ahead of the G7 summit in Canada in June, according to BBC.

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 24 Palestinians in a tent encampment housing displaced families in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, local health authorities said on Sunday, as mediators hosted a new round of talks between Israel and Hamas, BBC reported.

Israel expanded its military offensive in the enclave and ramped up bombing that has killed hundreds of people over the past 72 hours.

The Gaza health ministry said Israeli strikes in the past few days had killed hundreds of Palestinians despite a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to the region.

Hamas described the strike as a "new brutal crime" in a statement on Sunday and blamed the U.S. administration for the escalation.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the latest strikes but it said in an earlier statement that it was conducting extensive strikes in areas of Gaza as part of its plan to reach its war objectives, according to BBC.

Donald Trump says he will be speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone on Monday about ending the war in Ukraine, saying the call would be about "stopping the 'bloodbath'", BBC reported.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president said the call would take place at 10:00 EDT (14:00 GMT) and he would then speak to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the leaders of some Nato countries.

Russia and Ukraine were unable to reach any breakthrough when they held their first face-to-face talks in three years in Istanbul on Friday, although a prisoner swap was agreed.

Trump had offered to attend the talks in Turkey if Putin would also be there, but the Russian president declined to go, according to BBC.
