“Poland’s President Andrzej Duda is asking the country’s government to ensure that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can attend observances marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz later this month without the risk of being arrested, a Polish presidential aide said Thursday. Netanyahu became an internationally wanted suspect after the International Criminal Court, the world’s top war crimes court, issued an arrest warrant for him and others in connection with the 15-month war in Gaza, accusing them of crimes against humanity. … As a signatory to the treaty of the International Criminal Court, which issued the warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest, Poland would have an obligation to arrest him. Israel is not a member of the ICC and disputes its jurisdiction.” (01/09/25)
