Canada Reportedly Preparing to Evacuate 45,000 Citizens from Lebanon Amid War Fears

Canada is preparing for a massive evacuation of its citizens from Lebanon in the event of a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah, according to Channel 12.

The report cites a conversation held on Friday between Foreign Minister Israel Katz and his Canadian counterpart Mélanie Joly. The discussion was reportedly tense, with Joly informing Katz that the Canadian military is drafting plans to evacuate 45,000 people from Lebanon.

Katz is said to have urged Ottawa to pressure Hezbollah’s Iranian backers to rein in the terror group.

There was no official readout of the conversation. However, Katz later posted on X: “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.
