Fire Trudeau for backing arrest of Netanyahu, says Canada opposition leader
Mr Trudeau said on Friday that Canada would follow the rulings of the International Criminal Court (ICC) after it issued an arrest warrant for Mr Netanyahu, even if it meant having to arrest the Israeli prime minister on Canadian soil.
“We stand up for international law, and we will abide by all the regulations and rulings of the international courts,” Mr Trudeau said. “This is just who we are as Canadians.”
Mélanie Joly, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, supported the prime minister’s position, saying: “We need accountability in our world, and so, based on that, Canada will abide by its obligation under the ICC treaty.”
On Thursday, the ICC also issued arrest warrants for Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, and Mohammed Deif, the Hamas military chief, for alleged war crimes.
