LONDON (Reuters) -The Israeli government urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to drop his pledge to honour the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he travelled to the country.
“We believe that Prime Minister Carney should, of course, reconsider this and welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu, the leader of the only Jewish state and democratic country in the Middle East, to Canada,” Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian told reporters.
