Canada pledges ‘unwavering’ support for Israel
‘Canada’s foreign minister on Wednesday reaffirmed his country’s ironclad support for Israel and said the realities of the Middle East left the Jewish state no choice but to defend itself.
Meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his first visit to Israel, Rob Nicholson’s comments were welcomed at a time of growing pressure on Netanyahu and his rightwing government to curb West Bank settlement and renew talks with the Palestinians.
“We believe we have no better friend than Canada,” Netanyahu said as he met Nicholson in Jerusalem.’
