OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would be “abide by” rulings of the International Criminal Court after it issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even if it means arresting Netanyahu on Canadian soil.

Asked by a reporter on Thursday if he would allow an arrest to happen in Canada or if he would step in to prevent it happening, Trudeau said “it’s really important that everyone abide by international law. This is something we’ve been calling on from the beginning of the conflict.”
