Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for saying he was “aware” when a protester at a Liberal rally in Calgary shouted, “There’s a genocide happening in Palestine!”

“I’m aware, which is why we have an arms embargo [on Israel],” Carney told the demonstrator Tuesday evening.

For the last 18 months, Israel’s military has bombarded Gaza, killing tens of thousands, in their vow to destroy Hamas militants – who killed more than 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped roughly 250 others in a brutal attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

When asked to clarify his comments by Global News on Wednesday, Carney said, “I didn’t hear that word [genocide]… I was stating a fact in terms of the arms restrictions.”

However, this didn’t seem to appease the Israeli prime minister.

“Instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, he attacks the one and only Jewish state,” Netanyahu wrote in an X post on Thursday. He further demanded Carney “backtrack [his] irresponsible statement!”
