Carney says Canada not considering sanctioning Israel over Lebanon strikes
Carney said Canada will back ceasefire efforts and not use sanctions now, as Israel and Lebanon prepare talks in Washington next week.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada is not considering sanctions against Israel following its recent attacks on Lebanon that appeared to violate a broader Middle East ceasefire agreement.
- President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, yet Israel launched strikes on Beirut Wednesday, killing at least 203 people, claiming Lebanon was excluded from the peace deal.
- Carney insisted the ceasefire is "very fragile" but maintained that any end to regional hostilities must include Lebanon, rejecting suggestions to use sanctions as a diplomatic tool at this time.
- The Associated Press reported Thursday that talks between Israel and Lebanon are expected to start next week in Washington to support the ceasefire, with backing from more than 10 world leaders.
- Canada remains a strong NATO member, with Carney citing recent efforts to secure the Arctic and meeting the two per cent GDP military spending benchmark as proof of its commitment to the alliance.
