Kanadische Truppen sollen von Einsätzen im Nahen Osten abgezogen werden

About 200 members of the Canadian Armed Forces are deployed in the Middle East on six different operations, but some are being moved to other areas or brought back to Canada as a result of the outbreak of war in the region.

Six others are being deployed abroad to act as liaison officers in the event that the military is asked to assist in civilian evacuations in the region, said Lieutenant-General Steve Boivin, who leads the Canadian Joint Operations Command.

Senior reporter Stephanie Levitz writes that Lt.-Gen. Boivin, who spoke at the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence, told reporters that the Forces are not involved in the war.

“We have not been involved in the planning of it, and we’re not involved as we speak,” he said. “Therefore, I can’t speculate on what will be coming up or the future Canadian involvement.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney left the door open to military deployment as part of the growing conflict in the Middle East, if the circumstances warrant it.

While abroad in Australia, he was asked if he could categorically rule out deploying military assets to the region.

“You’ve asked a fundamental hypothetical in a conflict that can spread very broadly. Today’s events, recent events point to that,” Mr. Carney said during a press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra.

“So, one can never categorically rule out participation,” he said.

“We will stand by our allies if it makes sense.”

Makes sense. US and Israel are taking on the fight.

No need for our boys to get in the way and stumble around.

Great! My feelings are to stay away from anything US or Israeli as much as possible. They are warmongers and participate in genocide.

Message sent, he’s not supporting the conflict. The only way we go is as a nato mission but that’s just my opinion.

Good, get them out of there.
