Canada warns citizens against all travel to Israel and Gaza

Canada has issued a heightened travel advisory, urging its citizens to refrain from traveling to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Foreign Minister Melanie Joly emphasized the increased risk of attacks on Israeli territory, prompting the government to elevate its risk assessment for the region.

Joly’s statement, shared on social media platform X, advised Canadians currently in the area to consider departing using commercial means. The decision reflects the volatile security situation in the region, with the potential for further escalation without prior warning.
