Israel’s National Security Council raised its travel warning for Canada from Level 1 to Level 2, citing an increasing threat from terrorist elements against Israelis and Jews in Canada. B’nai Brith Canada reported a historic high of 6,219 antisemitic incidents in 2024, including firebombings and attacks on Jewish institutions.
Israeli authorities advised citizens in Canada to exercise increased caution and avoid public displays of Jewish or Israeli identity due to rising threats.
In 2024, Canada had a more than 7.5-fold increase in antisemitic incidents, leading Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs to label it as a “champion of antisemitism.”
