After previously telling Canadians to find their own way to leave Israel amid the ongoing war with Iran and Hamas, Ottawa announced Monday that bus evacuations from Israel and the West Bank have now begun.
“A group of Canadians in the West Bank have safely crossed into Jordan via the Allenby / King Hussein Bridge with support from our consular officials on the ground,” Global Affairs stated in a post on the X social media platform.
