I'm sure our fearless, strong back, foreign affairs minister will have strongly worded statements about a foreign state carrying an airstrike NEXT DOOR to one of our embassies and likely damaging it. Right? Right?....

Apparently there was some damage. It's been closed since 2012, so there wasn't anyone there.

GAC didn't say whether Israel checked with Canada to ensure that no Canadian personnel were on site when the airstrike hit.

So they didn't. There's no reason to refuse to answer this question if they had.

Thanks for posting this update!

Of course! I think it's an important story and delineating facts from speculation is critical.

Israel hasn't officially acknowledged that they did it, so if they DID ask, and Canada DID confirm that they asked, it would confirm that Israel was who did it.

So, I don't think it's necessarily true that the ONLY reason to not answer is that Israel didn't ask.

You're right, I forgot complicity was an option.
