Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he expressed his “great concern” to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a phone call after the second firebombing of a Montreal synagogue in just over a year.

“I reiterated to [Trudeau] my great concern over the intolerable wave of antisemitic attacks against the Canadian Jewish community,” Herzog wrote in a Dec. 19 post on the social media platform X.
