Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he traveled to Canada. The statement was made in response to a question on Mishal Husain’s podcast, released this morning. This action aligns with Canada’s long-standing support for a two-state solution and its condemnation of actions that undermine this possibility. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously made a similar statement following the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

An independent Israeli negotiator revealed that the terms of the recent deal between Hamas and Israel were initially agreed upon in September 2024, during the Biden administration, but were disregarded by U.S. officials and rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. According to the negotiator, the same terms were presented to Hamas in September, but negotiations collapsed after an Israeli bombing. Eventually, through back channels to Trump’s envoy, negotiations were revived, leading to a ceasefire on January 19th and the signing of the current deal. The collapse of the initial deal resulted in a siege and offensive in Gaza and ultimately a return to the original terms, though many months later.

A recent poll by the Israel Democracy Institute indicates that 66% of Israelis believe it’s time to end the war in Gaza, citing the endangerment of hostages as the primary reason. While negotiations begin on the first stage of a US peace proposal, the survey shows that among those wanting the war to continue, the top reason is to remove Hamas from power. Furthermore, a significant 66% of Israelis also believe Prime Minister Netanyahu should take responsibility for the October 7th attacks and resign, with notable differences in opinion based on political affiliation.

President Trump, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, proposed a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza and release hostages, a plan with conditions previously rejected by Hamas. The plan involves a temporary governing committee, hostage release within 72 hours of Hamas’s acceptance, and potential amnesty for Hamas members who disarm. While Trump expressed optimism, the plan faces challenges, including Hamas’s refusal to disarm and the lack of explicit mention of Palestinian statehood. Simultaneously, Netanyahu apologized to Qatar for a recent strike on Hamas officials, seeking to mend relations with a key mediator.

During a White House announcement, President Trump incorrectly pronounced the name of the Abraham Accords, a 2020 agreement, and insisted his pronunciation was the correct one. He stated that the name was, “Abraaaham,” even though the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, gently corrected him, using the original Hebrew pronunciation of, “Avraham.” Despite the pronunciation error, Trump proceeded to announce his plan to end the war in Gaza, claiming Israel had agreed to it, and that he would be heading the, “Board of Peace.”

Trump says he won’t let Netanyahu annex the West Bank, a statement that, frankly, lands with a resounding thud in the current political climate. It’s a statement that immediately triggers a cascade of questions, skepticism, and, let’s be honest, a healthy dose of cynicism. The very idea of Trump drawing a line in the sand is complicated by his history, his financial interests, and the general perception of him as a negotiator who operates on a very specific – and often self-serving – set of terms.
