OTTAWA — Federal Liberals and New Democrats blasted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Wednesday, saying his statement that Israel should proactively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities is disastrous foreign policy that would contravene international law and quash hope for peace in the Middle East.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters Wednesday that Poilievre’s proposed pre-emptive strikes would trigger a broader war, and suggested he does not want harmony in the Mideast.

Joly and Joe Biden are opposed to Poilievre’s position! That settles it.
