Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is “watching carefully” as the International Court of Justice deliberates on an allegation of genocide against Israel, but he is not indicating Canada’s stance, or whether it will abide by any decision the court makes.

The highest court of the United Nations held two days of public hearings last week as South Africa made the case that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
