Amid escalating tensions and fears of war between Israel and Hezbollah, Canada is reportedly planning to evacuate approximately 45,000 of its citizens from Lebanon. This news follows a reported conversation between Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and his Canadian counterpart Mélanie Joly, during which Joly indicated that Canadian military forces have already been dispatched to the region in anticipation of what could be the country’s largest ever evacuation. Whether similar plans are being considered for the approximately 35,000 Canadian citizens residing in Israel remains unclear.
