Canada declares opposition to alleged Israeli war crimes investigation
A Palestinian demonstrator holds a national flags in front of Israeli forces as they protest against President Donald Trump's Mideast initiative, in Jordan Valley in the West Bank
CANADA has written to the International Criminal Court (ICC) opposing investigations into alleged Israeli war crimes in Palestine, following pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu.
The letter outlining the Canadian position was sent to the court on February 14, but its contents were only made public today.
Ottawa told the ICC that it did not recognise Palestine as a state and therefore supports the Israeli position that the court has no jurisdiction on the case that has been presented.
