OTTAWA, May 22 (Xinhua) — Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Wednesday she has demanded that the Israeli ambassador be summoned over the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shooting at a diplomatic delegation visiting the West Bank.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that there were four Canadians among the delegation that was shot at by the Israeli military, and they were not injured.
“I have asked my officials to call the Israeli ambassador to convey Canada’s grave concerns. We expect a full investigation and accountability,” she wrote.
The IDF said the delegation deviated from its approved route and soldiers fired warning shots, resulting in no casualties.
Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron issued a joint statement threatening to take “concrete measures” against Israel in response to the renewed military offensive in the Gaza Strip. –0–
