The body of an Israeli man who died in Canada over the weekend is being brought home for burial, Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday.

Reuven Landau, 18, was killed in an all-terrain vehicle accident. A resident of Nofim in Samaria, Landau had finished high school and was due to be drafted into the Israel Defense Forces.

A friend of Landau’s, who has not been identified, was seriously injured in the accident.

The funeral was to be held on Monday evening.

“We will not surrender to a cruel enemy and its collaborators, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis,” Israel’s consul general in New York said.
“This should not be welcome in the Democratic party,” the New Jersey senator said.
“The outrage only exposes how the press and those poisoned by anti-Israel propaganda will twist anything to blame the Jews,” Lizzy Savetsky told JNS.
Israel said that it “firmly rejects” the charges, which it said targeted the Jewish state “camouflaged as measures against violence.”
Pro-Israel groups sponsored 14 congressional trips to the Jewish state, accounting for more than a quarter of the $1.62 million spent on such travel through April.
The New Haven Police Department told JNS that Paul Smith is accused of targeting three Jews, shoving a fourth person who tried to intervene, throwing a rolled-up newspaper at them and of having “pointed at the yarmulke one of the victims was wearing and slapped it off his head, causing it to fall on the ground.”
