The Israel-Hamas war could shape the political future for Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly.

Instead, she found herself traveling to the Middle East to showcase that vision.
“I’m working 24/7 on this,” Joly told reporters last week ahead of the evacuations. “There’s so many issues happening in the world, I’m trying to address all of these.” “Leaders emerge during times of grave crises,” said Ian Lee, a Canadian politics observer. “It’ll be a chance for her to demonstrate the gravitas and the seriousness and understanding of the sensitivity in this horrible time. And if she does it well and manages the files extremely well, there’ll be people noting, commenting upon her in Canada.”
Two Canadian Armed Forces Airbus CC-150 Polaris jets on Thursday began the process of shuttling more than 1,000 Canadians and dual nationals from Tel Aviv to Athens, Greece, to connecting flights back home. But some 250 people in the West Bank are seeking the Canadian government’s assistance to leave and around 300 are trapped in Gaza.
That bombshell arrived on the back of a roaring scandal after rare leaks from the country’s intelligence community implicated China in meddling in Canadian democracy.
