The Globe and Mail publishes an investigation into aviation fuel shortages beginning to hit the European tourism market: kerosene prices have doubled since January, airlines add surcharges, and the IEA warns European carriers could run short of fuel by June if the Strait remains blocked. A Tuscan travel operator recounts his first cancellation linked to shortages: Australian clients abandoned their Tuscan vacation, fearing their connecting flight via Abu Dhabi would be cancelled. National Post reports French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot's declaration to the UN Security Council: Iran must make 'major concessions'—an angle the Canadian paper treats factually. National Post also reveals Netanyahu convened his ministers to prepare scenarios if negotiations collapse, with Jerusalem pressing Washington to maintain the naval blockade.
