Amid Israel’s ongoing response in the wake of attacks by the Hamas terrorist group, Canada has appointed Deborah Lyons as Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism.
“My appointment to this role comes, as you all know, at the most critical point and time. I could not have imagined the brutality of the Hamas attack on Israelis, nor the antisemitism across the globe that followed these horrific attacks,” Ms. Lyons told an audience in Ottawa on Oct. 16.
