Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Israel on it's 71st birthday, Wednesday, noting 70 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Trudeau said, “Canada will continue to stand proudly with Israel, including through our strong support for Israel at the United Nations. That’s why, earlier this week, we condemned the rocket attacks by Hamas and other terrorist groups. And we will continue to condemn BDS and any movement that attacks our Israeli friends, Jewish Canadians, and the values we share."
