Canadian PM Criticizes IDF Warning Shots Near Diplomats
Following an incident where Israeli soldiers fired shots near a Canadian diplomatic delegation in Jenin, Prime Minister Carney deemed the actions “totally unacceptable” and demanded a full investigation and explanation. Foreign Affairs Minister Anand summoned the Israeli ambassador to express Canada’s serious concerns. The IDF claimed the delegation deviated from its approved route, prompting warning shots; however, this explanation was rejected by Canadian officials and others. This incident follows a joint statement by Canada, the UK, and France threatening sanctions against Israel unless humanitarian aid restrictions in Gaza are lifted.
