The Combatting Hate Act passed in the House of Commons this week. 

That’s a huge step forward in our mission to build a stronger, safer country where everyone — no matter who they are or how they worship — can live free from violence and intimidation.

This morning, I met with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada as part of ongoing engagement on technology, AI, and economic development.

Dialogue matters, particularly in complex times.

Ce matin, j'ai rencontré l'ambassadeur d'Israël au Canada dans le cadre d'un engagement continu en matière de technologie, d'intelligence artificielle et de développement économique.

Le dialogue est important, en particulier dans les périodes complexes.

The Prime Minister is absolutely right: a safer, more prosperous future for Israelis and Palestinians requires an end to rejection of Israel’s right to exist -- an essential ingredient for peace in the Middle East.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Israel has the right to defend itself—including by disarming Tehran’s genocidal nuclear program. It cannot wait until the regime has capabilities for a nuclear strike.

We should all hope that this is the end of the regime’s nuclear program and that the great Persian people can now rise up to reclaim their country from the totalitarian regime.

All levels of government must take extra steps to protect Canada’s Jewish community from vile antisemites who may use these events as an excuse for more acts of violence.

[Anthony Housefather @AHousefather]

The Iranian regime is the world’s largest state sponsor of terror. It also represses its own citizens. Affording it nuclear capabilities is a major threat to the world, in particular Israel which Iran’s Supreme leader has vowed to destroy. Israel has a right to defend itself.

[Joe Roberts @Joe_Roberts01]

🚨 Trump just signed an executive order aimed at fighting antisemitism in the US. It isn’t empty rhetoric—it has real implications, especially for campuses and immigration policy.

Let’s break it down. 🧵⬇️

I spent last week in 🇮🇱 meeting with political leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, survivors of Oct 7, hostage families and Palestinians.

Incredible.

Will have more thoughts to share in op ed to come, but main take:

A lot of #cdnpoli is unserious.

It’s on all of us to fix that.

Our team was pleased to attend last night's @PearsonCentre dinner honouring former Prime Minister Joe Clark and the 45th anniversary of his election as Prime Minister.

Thank you, Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe , @JewishOttawa , and @CIJAinfo .

[Mark Sutcliffe @_MarkSutcliffe]

Like all residents of our city, Ottawa’s Jewish community deserves to gather whenever it chooses in an environment that is free from hate, violence, and racism. This is fundamental to a city that is free and democratic. Over the past two days, I have listened carefully to members of the community and I agree that they, and everyone in our community, should be able to hold events in public spaces without fear of threats and intimidation. My responsibility is to do everything possible to protect the safety of all members of our community. I’ve asked the chief of police and city officials to work with the Jewish Federation of Ottawa on a plan for an event to mark Israel's Independence Day while protecting the security and safety of everyone involved. We must ensure that members of the Jewish community - and all residents of our city - can gather whenever they choose to do so in safety, and free from intimidation and fear. We must continue to support our Jewish community, which is experiencing increasingly higher levels of anti-semitism. Let’s all work together to ensure our city is safe and free from violence and racism in all its forms.

@_MarkSutcliffe Thank you, Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe , @JewishOttawa , and @CIJAinfo .

[Roland Paris @rolandparis]

The role of Arab neighbours, in particular, helping to defend Israel will be an interesting story when it’s told.

[Hon. Marco Mendicino @marcomendicino]

Reprehensible. Celebrating Iran’s vicious attack on Israel and wishing for war on its people is a despicable act and inciting of hatred and violence towards the Jewish community. It is antisemitic and inconsistent with Canadian values and must be unequivocally condemned.

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Hagari: More than 200 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were fired from Iran. Most of the threats were intercepted outside Israeli airspace. A very small number of missiles hit Israeli territory with minor damages to a military base in southern Israel

[Michael Chong 🇨🇦 @MichaelChongMP]

Conservatives stand by Israel. We unequivocally condemn the Iranian regime's attack on Israel.

The regime is demonstrating once again, as it did with Hamas, that it is the source of regional instability.

Conservatives call on the Trudeau government to work with Canada’s allies to ensure Israel’s security and
regional stability.

#cdnpoli

[Anthony Housefather @AHousefather]

As Iran launches missiles at our ally Israel, I ask my colleagues who voted for a motion to not authorize arms sales to Israel, which would include defensive ones, whether they understand the implications of what they voted for. This misguided policy must be reversed now.

[Anthony Housefather @AHousefather]

Iran is a danger not only to Israel but to the entire world. I call on the Canadian government to make clear that Canada stands with the people of Israel and supports its security.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Canada unequivocally condemns Iran’s airborne attacks against Israel – and the Iranian regime’s disregard for peace and stability in the region. My statement:
