Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is summoning Israel’s ambassador to Canada in response to the treatment of activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, which Israel detained earlier this week.
Activists say 11 Canadians were among those detained when Israel’s navy intercepted 50 boats in international waters near Cyprus on May 18.
