Anand to see if Netanyahu is crossing Canadian airspace with arrest warrant in effect

OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says she is checking to see if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who faces an international arrest warrant — will be travelling through Canadian airspace on Thursday.

“I actually have asked my department to provide me with information relating to this particular flyover, which I did not have before coming to the United Nations,” Anand told reporters Wednesday outside UN headquarters in New York.

Netanyahu is set to visit New York on Thursday. Prime Minister Mark Carney said in October that the Israeli leader will be arrested if he enters Canada.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu: Trying to Prevent the Takeover of Western Civilization

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu: Trying to Prevent the Takeover of Western Civilization

What Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald J. Trump have been doing is not just battling terrorist groups; they have been preventing these groups from achieving their main goal: taking over Western civilization.

The core ideology of groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis — like the Iranian regime — is not influence, trade or partnerships; it is ideological dominance. Their efforts actually center on trying to destroy all non-Muslims, as well as other Muslims that each group considers not Muslim enough.

Jesse Kline: The Carney Liberals are interfering in Israel’s election

The federal Liberals’ policy of joining allies in punishing Israel, without providing any constructive solutions for bringing peace to the Middle East, continued apace on Tuesday, when Foreign Minister Anita Anand, along with her counterparts from several European countries, issued a joint statement pledging to “bring forward national measures to ban trade” in goods originating from Israeli settlements.

U.K. to bar import of goods from West Bank settlements in growing rift with Israel … and Canada follows

U.K. to bar import of goods from West Bank settlements in growing rift with Israel … and Canada follows

LONDON — Britain will ban the import of goods made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to a person familiar with the policy deliberations, and possibly impose sanctions on companies involved in an accelerating building boom in the communities, which are considered illegal by much of the international community.

The moves, expected to be announced Tuesday by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, mark the starkest break yet from the U.K.’s traditional role as a staunch supporter of Israel and show how Israel’s actions in the West Bank and its war in Gaza are straining long-standing alliances.

Syria: Turkey’s New Battleground Against Israel

Amid deepening tensions between Turkey and Israel over Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s attempts to extend his influence over Syria, Israel’s decision to strike a Syrian air base on the outskirts of Idlib is designed to send a clear signal to the Turkish leader to rein in his ambitions.

Since the overthrow of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Syria has increasingly become the focus of the deepening hostility between Israel and Turkey.

Netanyahu: Syria was on verge of deploying Turkish troops—Israel warned against it

Aug. 19, 2026 / JNS) Syria was on the verge of breaching the status quo in security matters by permitting the deployment of Turkish troops at an airbase near Aleppo, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement on Tuesday night.

Overnight Monday, the Abu al-Duhur Military Airbase in Idlib in northwestern Syria reportedly came under attack. Syrian authorities accused Israel of carrying out the offensive.

“Israel repeatedly warned Syria that such a deployment would pose a threat to Israel’s security. Syria chose to ignore these warnings,” the PMO continued, apparently referencing the strikes.

Canada-Israel relations are the worst they have ever been, ambassador says

Israel’s ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed says the government-to-government relationship between the two countries is the worst it’s ever been, summing up what he describes as a “long impasse” in ties strained during his country’s war with Hamas.

The flashpoint has been Gaza, which is in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis after more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas. Israel was attacked by Hamas militants in an October, 2023, assault that left around 1,200 people dead and about 250 taken hostage.

425 Groups With CCP Ties Are Getting $1B Annually to Organize Against Israel and the U.S.

425 Groups With CCP Ties Are Getting $1B Annually to Organize Against Israel and the U.S.

Over 400 organizations that explicitly want to wipe Israel off the map and wreck the USA are organizing protests globally this week, and some of them have ties to the murderous Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new Fox News report.

Unfortunately, the United States is the biggest hotspot of the Marxist revolutionaries protesting in favor of destroying the world’s only Jewish state to transform it into another addition to the world’s 50 Muslim nations. CCP-linked billionaire Neville Roy Singham has been bankrolling anti-Israel, pro-Iran protests in the U.S. for weeks.

Let’s hijack Sutherland’s advice for the latest mystery that has D.C. tongues wagging: Yesterday, someone leaked a private conversation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Vice President JD Vance.

Why even Iraq war hawks should oppose this war

When president George H.W. Bush went to war against Iraq in 1991, he sought and won the consent of the Congress of the United States. Resolutions authorizing military force passed the House, by a margin of 250 to 183, and the Senate, 52-47.

Mr. Bush had earlier secured the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 678. The cause was clear and compelling: to repel Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The coalition in support numbered 34 countries in all.

Inside Israel’s plan to kill Ayatollah Khamenei

A network of operatives infiltrated the dictator’s inner circle. After months of watching and listening, Mossad jammed his bodyguards’ phones and the jets struck

The meeting between Iran’s supreme leader and some 40 officials took place every Saturday morning at Ali Khamenei’s office and principal residence in Tehran. It gave Israel an hour-long window to close in for the kill before he returned to one of his two bunkers deep beneath the ground.

At about 6am on Saturday — a symbolic day and time as this was when Hamas launched its October 7 attack — Israel enacted a plan that was years in the making. It was made possible by a network of intelligence officials that built a near-omnipresent picture of where the 86-year-old was and who he was with at all times.
