(May 25, 2025 / JNS)
Israel’s National Security Council has raised its travel advisory for Canada from Level 1 (“no warning”) to Level 2 (“potential threat”), citing an increased danger to Israelis and Jews living or traveling in the country.
The NSC noted a “growing threat from terrorist elements” in Canada, pointing to a series of recent attacks and threats targeting Jewish institutions and individuals. Over the past 18 months, there have been multiple incidents, including shootings, arson attacks, and direct threats against Jews and Israelis.
The National Security Council is advising Israeli citizens in Canada to exercise increased caution, avoid public displays of Jewish or Israeli identity, and remain highly alert in public spaces.
The advisory comes as anti-Israel organizations are expected to stage protests on May 25 in Toronto and Waterloo, Ontario, in response to pro-Israel events being held the same day. According to Israeli authorities, online discourse surrounding these demonstrations has become increasingly radicalized, with some calls interpreted as incitement to violent action against Jews and Israelis.
