Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced an unpleasant moment during his visit to a mosque in Toronto when the crowd booed him for his stance on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, according to The Toronto Sun.
The video of the incident has gone viral on various social media platforms, showing a crowd of mosque-goers gathered in the mosque shouting “shame” and urging the facilitator not to let Trudeau speak at the podium.
This incident has garnered widespread attention and sparked discussions about the sensitive nature of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Trudeau, who supported Israel’s “right to self-defence” after the October 7 attack by Hamas, visited a mosque in Toronto’s Etobicoke area, on Friday which was not notified by his office.
However, later, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that Trudeau attended the International Muslims Organisation of Toronto to show support to those affected by the Middle East’s horrific events.
“Everyone is hurt and hurting, everyone is grieving, everyone is scared of what this means,” Trudeau had told the reporters in Brampton, Ontario when asked if his caucus is at odds over how the Liberals should respond.—Agencies
