Paris may ignore ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu
France has declared its commitment to international law, but the decision on the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu will be made by the court.
The French Foreign Minister said that the country adheres to the principles of international law and respects the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
However, Paris reserves the right not to execute the arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We are fully committed to international justice and will follow international laws, but they can be ignored," the minister said. The final decision on this issue must be made by the French judicial authorities.
This statement caused a resonance, as it calls into question France's obligations to international law and shows possible political maneuvers in relations with Israel. Adherence to international law remains an important factor for France, but in this case the country is ready to take into account national interests and the diplomatic context.
