      I trust that as a party to the ICC, the Trudeau government will ensure Canada abides by its responsibility to arrest these alleged criminals should they step foot in our jurisdiction. I think it will also be interesting to see what ministry and diplomatic support the government will continue to extend to a country led by essentially an accused war criminal on the lam.

      > Netanyahu’s office called the ruling “antisemitic”

      Big surprise there.

      The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as (former) defense minister Yoav Gallant. They are accused of:

      > the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts

      > the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population

      > “intentionally and knowingly deprived” Gaza’s civilians of food, water, medical supplies, fuel and electricity

      In addition, a warrant for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for crimes against humanity and war crimes over the militant group’s October 7 2023 attack was issued, although Deif is suspected dead.

      The international criminal court is an independent court of last resort to investigate and prosecute the most serious crimes of international concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression. Canada [played a crucial role](https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/icc-cpi/index.aspx?lang=eng) in establishing the court. As a signatory to the Rome statute, Canada is required to execute warrants in its jurisdiction. Put plainly, Canada is now legally obligated to arrest Netanyahu if he enters our territory.

      Israel has the right to defend itself. To me the question is “have they gone beyond that?” I would add that the whole region is in danger of a much larger conflict which can easily be avoided.

      The great circle flight route from Tel Aviv to NY or DC goes over Gander, Newfoundland.

      If Netanyahu were to have mid-Atlantic flight distress, an emergency landing in Gander may be required, and we’d be obligated to arrest him.

      “Looks like you’ve committed some genocide der ‘by. Ya’s jigged yer last cod – yer comins wit us, eh?”
