Despite having one of the biggest Jewish populations in the world, Canada was excluded from a call and statement in support of Israel.
It’s not just that Canada didn’t sign onto the statement from five of the G7 countries on Israel and the Hamas attack, we weren’t invited.Canada, a NATO ally of all five countries that made the statement, a fellow member of the G7, wasn’t even called and asked to join the call or sign the statement.For background, on Monday, U.S. President Joe Biden hosted a phone call with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom to discuss what is happening in the Middle East.
The statement closed by saying that in the coming days, the leaders will remain united and coordinated “to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.”It’s a strong statement and by any measure that doesn’t take into account the lack of trust many of our allies have in us, we would have been included in that call.
