Netanyahu's ICC Warrant Sparks International Legal Maneuvering
TL;DR Summary
The French foreign ministry stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is covered by immunity provisions from the International Criminal Court (ICC) due to Israel not being a member state. This means France would consider these immunities if the ICC requested Netanyahu's arrest. The ICC recently issued warrants for Netanyahu and others, but France has taken a cautious stance, emphasizing its commitment to international law while acknowledging immunity issues. Amnesty International criticized France's position, calling it "deeply problematic."
