Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly unequivocally condemned Iran's missile attacks on Israel and called for de-escalation as the conflict intensifies. She urged Canadians in Lebanon to leave immediately amidst an evolving situation.
OTTAWA — As war spread in the Middle East on Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly “unequivocally” condemned Iran ’s move to fire dozens of missiles into Israel and called for no further escalation in the war from all sides.
In the House of Commons, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre demanded the government say unequivocally that Israel has the right to defend itself. “I believe that it is possible to get to peace,” Joly said. “I believe that we’re in a moment where we need to save lives.”“At this critical moment for Israel and for the region, the State of Israel calls on Canada to stand with it as a fellow liberal democracy,” he said.
About 4,000 people have asked Global Affairs Canada about the offer of help and 1,700 had received a call back to proceed with the booking. The flights to Istanbul cost US$330 and are paid for by the passengers. Ottawa can arrange payment plans. Israel responded with attacks in Gaza that have left more than 41,000 dead, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
