Trudeau says Canada will stand up for international law [Video]

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will abide by all rulings of the International Criminal Court, after the war crimes tribunal in The Hague issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister, and a Hamas military chief. 

The ICC issued the warrants Thursday after the court’s top prosecutor accused Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Hamas’s Mohammed Deif of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the months of devastation in Gaza and Lebanon since the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel last year. The court relies on countries that support it to arrest suspects accused of war crimes so they can face trial at The Hague.
