Canada urged to define clearer Middle East foreign policy
As diplomats prepare for the United Nations General Assembly in New York, questions have been raised regarding Canada’s strategic approach to the Middle East. Critics suggest that Ottawa lacks a clearly defined policy for the region, often responding to immediate diplomatic pressures rather than long-term national interests.
A more coherent strategy is argued to be necessary not only for Canada’s international reputation but also for domestic stability. Recent Middle East conflicts have had tangible effects on Canada, including fluctuations in energy prices, trade disruptions, and an increase in radicalization and extremism within Canadian communities. Notably, there has been a significant rise in antisemitism since October 7.
