Since the Hamas massacre of October 7, Israel has been acting to protect its citizens and return its hostages, which continue to be held by the terror group. Israel is a longstanding Canadian ally and the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. At this critical moment, it is essential that Canada support Israel and stand against Hamas, which remains a threat to innocent Israelis and Palestinians. So too, our relationship with Israel is also one that benefits Canadians in many ways, including in trade, innovation, medicine, science and technology.

If elected, what will you do to strengthen the trade, diplomatic, and security ties with our ally Israel?
