Canadian PM Carney Says He Would Arrest Netanyahu If He Entered Canada

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in an interview with Bloomberg that he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to enter Canada.

When asked whether he would uphold former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s stated commitment to detain Netanyahu on alleged war crimes charges, Carney responded, “yes.”

The comment comes just days after the International Criminal Court rejected Israel’s appeal against arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over their handling of the war against Hamas in Gaza.

The ICC previously ruled that there were “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore “criminal responsibility” for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Israel has firmly denied all such accusations.
