Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested if he comes to Auschwitz memorial, Polish government confirms

This discussion thread was locked by Mosby (a host of the Jewish Group group).

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski said that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu comes to Poland, he will be arrested in accordance with the country’s commitment to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Bartoszewski’s comments came in a Friday conversation with the Polish economic and legal newspaper Rzeczpospolita regarding the preparations for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, which is set to take place this January 27.

Netanyahu was charged in November, along with former defense minister Yoav Gallant, for a series of crimes by the ICC. States that signed the Rome Statute are legally required to comply with ICC arrest warrants.

The anniversary is typically a major state event. However, Israeli officials declined to confirm whether Netanyahu would be permitted at the event, and President Isaac Herzog’s participation also seems unlikely.

... History will remember him as the leader who finally made Israel safe, and directed the downfall of Islamist terrorism, thus leading to the spreading of the Abraham Accord in the middle east.

since trump enabled Bibi's worst impulses, and helped commit them, hand in hand. But... trump DID give Russia some secret information regarding Israel on his first day in office during the last admin. So, there is that... Bibi might still be a bit unhappy and unwilling to trust trump more than he can see past arm's length.
