Shortly after Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar slammed Canada for not doing enough against antisemitism following an assault on a Jewish man in Montreal, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issues a condemation of the incident.

“The attack on a Jewish father in Montreal late yesterday, in front of his own children, is an appalling act of violence. Everyone in Canada has an inalienable right to live in safety,” he says on X.

“My thoughts are with the victim and his family as they recover, and my support is with law enforcement as they work to bring the perpetrator to justice.”
