On October 7, 2023, Nazih Khatatba stated (originally in Arabic):
In my opinion, the shooting incident at the American Consulate in Toronto is a distinctly Zionist operation aimed at pressuring the Canadian government to take harsher measures to suppress the solidarity movement with Palestine and to prevent demonstrations—especially the International Quds Day rally, which is celebrated on the last Friday of Ramadan and is scheduled this year for next Saturday [March 14, 2026] in front of the American Consulate.
Zionist organizations have tried to prevent it over the past years but have failed, and they will certainly fail today as well. The majority of shooting incidents targeting Jewish places of worship that have occurred recently—and previously shootings at Jewish schools—took place at night, were registered as “perpetrator unknown,” and are in reality Zionist fabrications, as they are the sole beneficiaries of such acts.
