Beirut, Lebanon – Canada is reportedly preparing a large-scale evacuation plan for 45,000 citizens from Lebanon in anticipation of a potential full-scale conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, according to Channel 12.
This information comes from a recent conversation between Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly. The exchange was described as tense, with Joly indicating that the Canadian military is developing plans for the evacuation.
Fears of a regional war escalated on June 20 when Hezbollah warned that no part of Israel would be spared in a full-blown conflict, and Israel announced its approval of plans for an offensive in Lebanon. Katz reportedly urged Canada to exert pressure on Hezbollah’s Iranian backers to control the militant group.
There was no official readout of the conversation. However, Katz later posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Israel cannot allow the Hezbollah terror organization to continue attacking its territory and citizens, and soon we will make the necessary decisions. The free world must unconditionally stand with Israel in its war against the axis of evil led by Iran and extremist Islam.”
