The federal government is urging Canadians to “avoid all travel to Israel” as the country carried out missile and air strikes with Iran.
The Canadian government said it issued a warning due to “continued hostilities” between Israel and Iran.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Foreign Minister asked Canadians in the Middle East to contact the Department of Global Affairs.
Anita Anand's social media post this morning comes after she condemned Iran's attack on Israel and called for restrictions on the attacks between the two countries. In an interview with CBC house Canada “always prefer negotiating solutions and we encourage all parties to get into the table,” she said Friday.
Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday called on Israel and Iran to exercise “maximum constraints” and toward a diplomatic solution on Friday, while criticizing Iran’s missile strike against Israel and confirming Israel’s defense of its rights.
“Iran's nuclear program has long attracted attention, and its missile strikes on Israel threaten regional peace,” Kahney said.
He said Carney summoned the Cabinet Committee on Friday the National Security Council to ensure that all necessary steps will be taken to protect our nationals and our diplomatic mission in the region. ”
“Canada reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and ensure its security. We call on all parties to exercise the greatest restrictions and move towards diplomatic resolutions.”
Israel's defense minister warned on Saturday that if Iran continues to fire, “Tehran will burn.”
The two countries launched a surprise attack on Iran's nuclear and military sites on Friday, killing several of the highest generals.
