Canada to try Israeli soldiers for war crimes

According to webangah News agency, ​hebrew-language media reported on Tuesday that the Canadian government has initiated its first official judicial ⁣process against several Canadian-Israeli dual⁢ nationals.

The investigation aims to examine potential war crimes committed by these individuals‌ during the ground offensive in Gaza.

Canadian authorities have begun ⁢collecting evidence regarding the involvement of these Israeli military‌ personnel with Canadian citizenship in alleged‌ crimes within⁤ Gaza. The probe, which started⁤ last year, was revealed yesterday by a Canadian newspaper.

The investigation ⁣is being conducted in cooperation with ⁢international bodies,with the possibility of indictments being issued against some individuals on Canadian soil.

The case involves several Canada-born military personnel who joined the‍ Israeli army and participated in operations against Gaza. In response, Canada’s Department of Justice stated: “Measures have been ‍taken to prevent Canada‍ from becoming a safe haven⁣ for war criminals, with the goal of legally‍ prosecuting those responsible for atrocities.”

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth described Canada’s move as a⁣ critically ​important growth in Ottawa-Tel Aviv relations, marking ‍the first time such action has been ‌taken as an official government decision rather⁣ than ⁤through civil society organizations.

Following this news, Canada’s Jewish community expressed concern over potential arrests ⁤of individuals involved in military‍ operations against Gaza.
