November 10, 2014 - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today released the following statement:
“Canada condemns today’s brazen attacks that have claimed the lives of an Israeli woman and a member of the Israel Defense Forces.
“These terrorist attacks come after last week’s deplorable violence where vehicles were intentionally driven into innocent bystanders.
“Perpetrators of these acts of violence are responsible for further aggravating an already volatile situation.
“Any statements of incitement are irresponsible. Those leaders who regularly issue them cannot plead ignorance when terrorist attacks like today’s occur.
“On behalf of all Canadians, we stand with the people of Israel and offer our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims.”
