Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Israel’s president to avoid accelerating the conflict with Lebanese Hezbollah, citing concern for civilians already at risk from the Islamist terrorist group’s rockets.
In a July 4 call with President of Israel Isaac Herzog, Mr. Trudeau “voiced Canada’s concerns over further escalation along Israel’s northern border, which Hezbollah continues to bombard with rockets,” according to a readout provided by his office.
