The National Security Council (NSC) has elevated its travel warning for Canada to Level 2, indicating an intermittent threat, due to increasing threats from terror elements against Israelis and Jews in the country. The council announced that "anti-Israeli organizations are expected to hold demonstrations and protests today in Toronto and Waterloo against pro-Israel events." They further stated that "in recent days, there has been an escalation in rhetoric surrounding these events, including calls that suggest intent for violent actions against Israelis and Jews at these locations. In light of this, attendees of pro-Israel events are advised to follow and comply with instructions from local security and police forces, and to avoid any friction with anti-Israeli protest events."
