Canadians Gain More Room to Save with 2025 TFSA Limit

  The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contribution limit for 2025 has been set at $7,000 , giving Canadians another opportunity to grow their investments tax-free. Since its launch in 2009, the TFSA has become one of the most popular savings tools in the country, offering flexibility and tax advantages that appeal to both short-term savers and long-term investors.

Netanyahu labeled the ruling as “anti-Semitic” and “absurd,” asserting that Israel will not succumb to international pressure in defending its citizens.

The ICC’s warrants accuse Netanyahu and Gallant of war crimes related to the recent conflict in Gaza, including allegations of starvation and persecution of Palestinians. The court’s decision has sparked a rare moment of unity among Israeli politicians, with both allies and opponents rallying to Netanyahu’s defense.

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized the ICC, calling the warrants a “mark of shame” on the court itself. Opposition leader Yair Lapid described the ruling as a “reward for terrorism,” while Benny Gantz, who briefly joined Netanyahu’s war cabinet, condemned the court’s "moral blindness".

Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir suggested a bold response by annexing the occupied West Bank, further intensifying the political discourse.

The ICC’s decision has undoubtedly deepened the diplomatic rift, with Israel and its key ally, the United States, not recognizing the court’s jurisdiction. As the situation unfolds, the international community watches closely, anticipating the potential ramifications on the ongoing conflict and future peace negotiations.
