Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his assertion that he would support the arrest in Canada of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on an International Criminal Court warrant, after a Liberal MP said it “discredits” the court. The Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre called the prime minister’s comments “ridiculous.”

“Canada supports international law,” Trudeau told Toronto radio host John Moore Friday morning. “We have to trust that the institutions we’ve built to protect international law are actually going to do their job.”
