Canadian authorities investigating alleged war crimes in Gaza, report says

Canadian police confirm reports they are investigating alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip, without detailing the scope of the investigation, the Toronto Star reports.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police began a probe into the Israel-Hamas war in early 2024, according to the report.

The report does not explicitly say if a specific Israeli is being investigated.

The RCMP probe is a “structural investigation” — a fact-finding mission that aims to hold war criminals accountable and prevent them from finding safe haven by handing information collected to other authorities or trying suspects in court.

According to The Star, cases rarely end up in Canadian courts.
