France's Foreign Ministry indicated that Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel may not face immediate arrest under an International Criminal Court warrant due to considerations of immunity and international obligations.
The ministry underscored that while the Rome Statute demands cooperation with the I.C.C., it also stipulates that states cannot act against their obligations concerning the immunities of non-member states.
Netanyahu, the first leader of a modern Western democracy accused of war crimes by the I.C.C., complicates international responses due to his close alliances.
Countries like Ireland advocate for strict adherence to the I.C.C. warrants, while nations such as Italy express concerns over both the feasibility and legality of an arrest.
