We have the leverage to demand that Israel follow our own U.S. laws. I introduced an amendment in the Foreign Affairs committee to condition some U.S. aid on the Israeli government following our laws, as well as international humanitarian law. It’s common sense.

“This strikes me as odd only because if a Canadian citizen died in Ukraine, would you be asking Moscow to investigate?” Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand was pressed about why Canada asked Israel to lead an investigation into the death of a Canadian citizen, Hassan Haidar, who was killed by an Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon on April 10. The US, Canada, Australia, and European nations have all faced criticism for allowing Israel to investigate itself after committing war crimes and violations of international law
