Canada, Uruguay summon their Israel ambassadors over West Bank IDF warning shots
Uruguay and Canada become the latest countries to summon their Israeli ambassadors over warning shots fired by the IDF during a visit by foreign diplomats, including an Uruguayan representative and four Canadians, to the West Bank.
Uruguay’s foreign ministry says it wants Ambassador Michal Hershkovitz to “clarify” the shots during the diplomats’ visit to the town of Jenin.
Meanwhile, Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand demands a “full investigation” into the incidents.
“I have asked my officials to summon Israel’s Ambassador to convey Canada’s serious concerns. We expect a full investigation and accountability,” Anand says on X.
