NDP statement on Israel’s recent attacks « Canada’s NDP

June 13, 2025 at 3:15 am  Federal, Politics

NDP critic for Foreign Affairs Heather McPherson issued the following statement:

“New Democrats condemn Israel’s attacks on residential buildings in Tehran that have led to hundreds of casualties, including civilians.

While we have long condemned Iranian leadership including the IRGC, this illegal act by Israel will only provoke further violence.

This new war, among so many already destroying lives and communities, is a dangerous escalation that will harm millions more innocent people. This is happening as Palestinians starve, with no end to the genocide in sight.

Canadians with loved ones in Iran, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region are terrified for what may come.

Canada has neglected nuclear disarmament for decades. We urgently need de-escalation, diplomacy, and the rule of law – all principles that Canada has failed to prioritize in its approach to the Middle East.

We renew our calls on Canada to stop arming Netanyahu, who cannot be trusted with anyone’s safety – and who is dragging the world into further chaos and pain.”
