The Kan broadcaster reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s flightpath returning from his trip to Washington, DC, yesterday was changed to avoid flying over Canada’s airspace, due to the outstanding International Criminal Court warrant for the premier’s arrest.
Canada is a signatory to the ICC’s Rome Statute, meaning it is legally required to apprehend Netanyahu if he enters its territory.
While several ICC signatories have stated that they would not arrest Netanyahu, Canada affirmed last November that it would “abide” by the court’s warrant and would carry out the arrest.
