The court's chief prosecutor requested arrest warrants Monday for Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence minister and senior Hamas leaders.
"The International Criminal Court is independent in its work, and I've said from the very beginning how important it is that everyone respect and abide by international law," Trudeau said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference in Philadelphia. "We respect the independence of the ICC. All parties must make sure that they abide by international law, including international humanitarian law. We've been calling all parties to do so for months now, and so therefore we are closely monitoring the process," Joly told reporters Tuesday afternoon on Parliament Hill.
Iqra Khalid, who represents a Toronto-area riding, said in a post on X that Canada must respect the ICC and its independence. Another Liberal MP, Sameer Zuberi, added in his own social-media post that Canada must await the result of the request, while noting that"no party to an armed conflict is above the law."
