MONTREAL: A soiree to be attended by the prime ministers of Canada and Italy on Saturday in Toronto was cancelled over “security concerns”, the Canadian leader’s office said, as pro-Palestine protesters picketed the venue. Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators had gathered in front of the Art Gallery of Ontario, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was due to host his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni, according to Canadian media reports. “Due to security concerns, the event was cancelled,” Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for the Canadian prime minister’s office, told AFP without giving further details.

Meloni, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Group of Seven (G7) nations, is visiting Canada ahead of a leaders’ summit in Italy in June. Earlier in the day, the two leaders held talks where they discussed what Meloni described as a “very difficult Middle East crisis”. According to Canadian public broadcaster CBC, protesters opposed to Canada’s response to the Zionist-Hamas war blocked access to the venue.

Between 200 and 300 demonstrators took part in the protest, according to the CBC. Videos and photos circulating on social media showed a heavy police presence near the gallery. The Zionist entity’s relentless assault on the Gaza strip has taken a devastating toll on civilians trapped there, killing at least 30,320 people, according to the territory’s health ministry. The entity says its nearly five-month assault is in retaliation to an October 7 attack by Hamas which resulted in the deaths of around 1,160 people, according to an AFP tally of official Zionist figures. — AFP
