Benjamin Netanyahu will be arrested if he comes to Auschwitz memorial, Polish government confirms [View all]
This discussion thread was locked by Mosby (a host of the Jewish Group 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.
