This week was the start of hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as South Africa alleged that the state of Israel is violating the Genocide Convention during its military operations in the occupied Gaza strip.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters on Friday that Canada supports the International Court of Justice, but does not agree with South Africa’s case against Israel.
“Our wholehearted support of the ICJ and its processes does not mean that we support the premise of the case brought forward by South Africa,” he said.
