Four Canadians Near West Bank Gunfire Prompt Canada to Summon Israeli Ambassador

News summary

Four Canadian personnel were part of a diplomatic delegation in the West Bank when Israeli soldiers fired warning shots nearby after the group allegedly deviated from an approved route, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand confirmed the safety of the Canadian team, communicated with Canada's head of mission in Ramallah, and announced plans to summon Israel's ambassador to express serious concerns and demand a full investigation and accountability. The incident has escalated diplomatic tensions and occurred amid broader international criticism of Israeli policies in the region, including recent threats of targeted sanctions by Western leaders over humanitarian issues in Gaza. The Israeli military expressed regret for the inconvenience caused but emphasized the delegation's unauthorized movement. This event underscores the volatile security situation in the occupied West Bank and ongoing international scrutiny of Israel's actions. Canada's government, along with other Western nations, continues to pressure Israel regarding settlement expansion and humanitarian access.
