France rules out arrest of Israeli PM Netanyahu citing immunity after ceasefire
France has reversed its stance on the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The French Foreign Minister stated that Netanyahu may be immune from arrest due to rules for non-ICC member states. Previously, there was speculation about the potential enforcement of the warrant. The French Foreign Ministry's recent statement clarifies that Netanyahu's immunity applies in this context, indicating a significant shift in France's position. This change follows a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which may have influenced France's decision. The situation marks a notable development in international relations regarding the ICC and Israel.
