In a brief statement to reporters, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird said the ICC's decision was "deeply regretable" and would feature in his meetings with Israeli officials. "We look forward to discussing a range of issues, from trade to security, to the deeply regretable decision at the ICC," he said before meeting Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman. The ICC's chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, said on Friday she was opening "a preliminary examination" into Israel's actions which will cover a period including last summer's war in Gaza.
