Edmonton man accused of abducting his 2 kids wanted on Canada-wide warrant - Global News

A review of two years of flights by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows that the Israeli leader is once again routinely taking a more direct path — through Canadian airspace — when travelling to the United States despite the international arrest warrant that Canada has committed to enforce. Canada has been criticized for undermining its public message of support for international law by permitting Netanyahu to fly over the country. Over that time, the federal government's explanation of its rationale for doing so has shifted. European countries appear to be split on the issue of whether an obligation to enforce the warrant extends to sovereign airspace. The government of France, which has also allowed Netanyahu to fly through its airspace, has said it will enforce International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants against Israeli officials — but has also argued that it has no obligation to do so in the air.
