hindustantimes.com

France announced on Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has immunity from the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants, as Israel is not a party to the court's statutes. France will continue its cooperation with Netanyahu. This clarification follows a week of evolving statements from France after the ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and others on November 21. Initially, France indicated it would adhere to ICC statutes but later adjusted its position. A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah began on Wednesday, following a U.S.-French brokered agreement. France emphasized its commitment to working with Israeli authorities to promote peace and security in the Middle East.
