Canada watching for UN court decision on Israel and genocide, Justin Trudeau says (Toronto Star, + The Canadian Press Syndication)

"As were other allies of Israel, the government of Canada should have been clear and unequivocal in their condemnation of South Africa's accusations," the statement said.
