We asked Israel's Ambassador to Canada if he may wish to address the apparent diminution of the decades-long allyship and friendship between Canada and Israel. From statements made by prime minister Trudeau and foreign affairs minister Melanie Jolie, to Canada abstaining from voting on full UN membership for a State of Palestine, to Toronto mayor Olivia Chow refusing to be present for the raising of the Israeli flag on Israel's Independence Day earlier in the week. Chow's office suggested the Mayor believed the raising of the Israeli flag at this time would be too divisive.  

Israel's Ambassador has agreed to speak to the current relationship between his country and Canada.

Guest: Iddo Moed. Israel Ambassador to Canada.
