Netanyahu Criticizes Canadian PM Carney Over Gaza Remarks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for comments made during a rally in Calgary. The controversy arose when a protester in the crowd accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. Carney responded, "I'm aware. That's why we have an arms embargo," a statement that Netanyahu deemed "irresponsible."

Netanyahu took to social media to express his disapproval, urging Carney to retract his remarks. He emphasized that Israel is engaged in a "just war" against Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by Canada. Carney later clarified that he had not heard the word "genocide" during the protester's statement and was merely referencing Canada's arms embargo on Israel.

The incident has sparked international debate, with some questioning Carney's stance and others defending his clarification. The timing of this controversy is particularly sensitive, as it coincides with heightened tensions in the region and ongoing discussions about Canada's foreign policy.

Carney's office has yet to issue a formal response to Netanyahu's criticism, leaving the matter unresolved for now.
