Judeoscope reports that the Canadian government is recalling all passports that refer to the bearer’s place of birth as “Jerusalem, Israel.” Ottawa doesn’t recognize Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and has not yet indicated whether the recall is linked to a recent lawsuit filed by Eliyahu Yehoshua Veffer, a Canadian born in Jerusalem. Veffer’s passport doesn’t state his place of birth. Will the reissued passports also omit the place of birth?
