France has stated it recognises that, legally, Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli government ministers are not subject to the rulings of the International Criminal Court and consequently accept they have “immunities” from the arrest warrant issued.for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza last week.
The French government asserted: “a State cannot be required to act in a manner inconsistent with its obligations under international law with respect to the immunities of States not party to the ICC. Such immunities apply to Prime Minister Netanyahu and other relevant ministers and will need to be taken into consideration should the ICC request their arrest and surrender.”
This move has been strongly criticised by the political left within France, for whom in many cases Israel and Netanyahu are seen as war criminals. Leader of the French Greens Marine Tondelier called the statement a “disgrace” and accused the government of siding with Benjamin Netanyahu over “international justice”.
