Nearly half of all Canadians believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports citing a new poll by public opinion firm Leger.

Forty-nine per cent of Canadians agreed with the idea that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the poll found, compared with 38pc of US respondents who said the same.

“In the US, Democrats are also more likely than Republicans to agree with the accusation,” Leger said, by a margin of 52pc to 30pc.
