We stand in solidarity with Israel. After supporting the brutal attack by Hamas on October 7, the Iranian regime, through these new actions, will further destabilize the region and make it more difficult to establish lasting peace, Mr. Trudeau declared at the annual dinner of the parliamentary press gallery, which he had to leave in a hurry.
These attacks once again demonstrate the Iranian regime’s contempt for peace and stability in the region. We support Israel’s right to defend itself and its people against these attacks.
A quote from Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister
I receive regular updates from the National Security and Intelligence Advisor, the Chief of the Defense Staff and the Clerk of the Privy Council as the situation evolves. We are in close communication with our allies, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely, he added.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also unequivocally condemned, in a press release, the brazen attacks launched against Israel.
Canada must support Israel, we must work with our allies to hold the Iranian regime accountable and ensure security in the region, he said.
The Israeli embassy in Canada welcomed this support from Ottawa, ensuring that the Jewish state will continue to defend itself. Iran is a direct threat to the Western world and all those who share democratic values, not just Israel, she argued late Saturday evening in a written statement.
Israel closed its airspace on Saturday after Iran announced on state television that it had launched ballistic missiles towards its territory.
The conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified in recent days following an airstrike, attributed to Israel, on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Iran then swore to avenge its own people.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Friday that Canadians should avoid travel to Israel due to an increased security risk.
She said Canadians who remain in Israel should leave by commercial means.
Air Canada, for its part, announced that its Saturday flight to Tel Aviv was canceled. The airline operates four non-stop round-trip flights per week from Toronto to Tel Aviv. The next one is scheduled for Monday.
We have also implemented a flexible rebooking policy for guests and will continue to monitor the situation in the region and adjust our schedule accordingly, a spokesperson said in a statement.
