Canada, EU plan stronger ties as trade war intensifies
Carney seeks deeper ties with Europe, access to European market amid fraying relations with U.S.
Canada has joined several countries, including Britain and France, in banning trade with Israeli settlements. The move has sparked criticism from Israel, with President Herzog calling it "blatant interference" in the country's democratic elections, according to Haaretz.
The ban on trade with Israeli settlements was announced by Foreign Minister Anita Anand, along with her counterparts from several European countries, as a measure to bring forward national measures to ban trade in goods originating from Israeli settlements, the National Post reported.
The decision has also prompted diplomatic retaliation from Israel. According to IOL, the bans were announced in response to rising violence and settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
