Prime Minister Mark Carney says he isn't considering sanctions against Israel over recent attacks on Lebanon that appear to violate a ceasefire in the Middle East. He says Lebanon must be included in the end of hostilities. Despite an 11th-hour ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Israel attacked Beirut on Wednesday in a renewed effort to strike at the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group. Those blasts killed at least 203 people and wounded hundreds more in the deadliest day of the war in Lebanon since the latest conflict began on Feb. 28. Carney was among the world leaders who signed a statement issued Wednesday calling on all sides to implement a ceasefire, including in Lebanon. That statement was reissued Thursday, with more than 10 additional world leaders adding their names to the statement. “We strongly condemn the air strikes launched by Israel across Lebanon, including in Beirut, which killed civilians and targeted civilian infrastructure,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a media statement Thursday. “At the same time, we strongly condemn Hezbollah’s indiscriminate attacks against Israel and its people.” Anand called on Israel and Hezbollah “to implement and adhere to a permanent ceasefire.” #Canada #Lebanon #CdnPoli
