The seminar reportedly focused on Israel’s experiences in waging its genocidal war on Gaza.
Defence Minister David McGuinty says he cannot confirm if Canadian officers took part in a seminar hosted by the Israeli military this week amid Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
At the Halifax International Security Forum, The Maple asked McGuinty about Israeli media reports naming Canada as one of several countries that sent delegates to Israel’s international seminar.
The seminar reportedly focused on Israel’s experiences in waging its genocidal war on Gaza. According to an Israeli military statement, the gathering was held in order to “strengthen cooperation, enhance familiarity with diverse operational approaches, exchange professional knowledge and experience between the participating militaries.”
The seminar, according to Israeli media, included lectures, tours of Gaza and face-to-face meetings with Israeli troops.
McGuinty said: “I can’t confirm whether we had officials there or not, I can come back to you on that. I think that it’s important for us to reflect, and I know our officials and our Canadian Armed Forces are reflecting on whatever lessons we can learn and derive from that tragic situation.” (more...)
