Possible measures include granting immunity to Israel’s Prime Minister and limiting visits to Europe.
The leaders of the G7 countries are faced with a choice – to comply with the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court for the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu or continue to work with him to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. Il Messaggero wrote this on Tuesday, November 26.
The war in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the deterioration of relations with Iran, are pushing Western states to seek compromise. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani believes that compliance with international obligations “must be combined with pragmatism.”
“The arrest of Netanyahu will not bring us closer to peace,” he said, adding that the Italian government is inclined to temporarily suspend the warrant while the fighting continues.
According to Tajani, Italy will seek to agree to terms that would allow Netanyahu to continue participating in negotiations without risking arrest. Possible measures include granting immunity and limiting visits to Europe.
The United States, which does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, has avoided discussing this issue. Britain, by contrast, has expressed its readiness to fulfill its obligations, even if it means arresting Netanyahu. However, in practice, the Israeli Prime Minister’s isolation could make it difficult to achieve a regional truce.
We remind you that Germany excludes the possible arrest of the Prime Minister of Israel on its territory.
As you know, the International Criminal Court in The Hague has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant.
