As EU mulls sanctions, Liberals want to 'move forward' after Israeli strike on Qatar

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Sep, 2025 09:54 AM
  • As EU mulls sanctions, Liberals want to 'move forward' after Israeli strike on Qatar

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Israel's strike on Qatar was "an unprovoked attack" but isn't hinting that Ottawa plans to impose any consequences.

Israel says it targeted senior Hamas leaders in the capital Doha on Tuesday, while the militant group says its main ceasefire negotiator survived the attack.

On the day of the attack, Carney said it had endangered efforts to advance peace in Gaza and could destabilize the Middle East.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has since announced plans to seek sanctions against Israel and a partial trade suspension.

In a podcast interview today, Carney said that Tuesday's attack was "intolerable … in the sense (that) it violates international law."

He was not asked whether Canada would also implement trade restrictions or more sanctions, and the prime minister said that "we look to move forward from this point."

What is a trade deficit — and does it matter to the economy
In a post on Truth Social early Wednesday, Donald Trump claimed his country is financially supporting its northern neighbour. The U.S. president-elect wrote that “we subsidize Canada to the tune of $100,000,000 a year" — an apparent reference to a previous claim about a $100-billion trade gap — and said the imbalance “makes no sense.”
