Asked by a reporter on Thursday if he would allow an arrest to happen in Canada or if he would step in to prevent it happening, Trudeau said “it’s really important that everyone abide by international law. This is something we’ve been calling on from the beginning of the conflict.”
“We stand up for international law, and we will abide by all the regulations and rulings of the international courts. This is just who we are as Canadians,” said Trudeau.
The court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during Israel’s campaign in Gaza that was sparked by the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel when Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 hostages.
Hamas is still holding about 100 people hostage, including children.
Opposition Conservatives reacted with outrage to Trudeau’s comments and the ICC warrants.
