Australia remains unclear on stance regarding ICC warrants for Netanyahu
Australia has not taken a clear stance on the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, issued for alleged war crimes in Gaza. While the U.S. rejected the warrants, Canada stated it would comply. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong emphasized respect for the ICC's independence but did not clarify Australia's potential actions if the individuals entered the country. Wong reiterated Australia's commitment to international humanitarian law and the need for a ceasefire, stating that all parties must protect civilians and release hostages.
