Ireland would arrest Netanyahu if he visits, says Prime Minister Harris
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris stated that Ireland would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the country. This follows the International Criminal Court's recent warrant against Netanyahu and other Israeli officials for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Harris confirmed that Ireland, as a member of the Rome Statute, supports international court decisions and would also execute a warrant against Hamas leader Mohammad Deif. The ICC has not confirmed Deif's status. Reactions to the ICC's warrants are mixed. U.S. President Joe Biden and Argentina's President Javier Milei criticized the move, while EU officials, including Josep Borrell, expressed support for the court's actions.
