This is like someone committing a crime claiming that he doesn't recognise the law so the police can't arrest him.

[@Shivam-5]

I don't understand what crime he has done, Moreover you should understand that some of the western countries said if Netanyahu comes to our country then we will arrest him. Hence, those countries indirectly telling Netanyahu please don't come to our country but don't worry we will provide financial and military aid to you.😊

[@zuzu-z1t1f]

Ukraine is and Palestine is that's why it applies to both!

[@RazaharivonyNyKanto]

But Putin, a president does not immunity 😂

[@alizaidi2893]

The ICC has ruled that state immunity does not apply in cases involving heads of state for crimes under its jurisdiction (e.g., Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, the decision notes that Sudan is NOT a member of the ICC/Rome Statute - "The Chamber notes that ... the current position of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir as Head of a state which is not a party to the Statute, has no effect on the Court's jurisdiction over the present case." - and the same is true for Israel). Not relevant for this case, but relevant anyway, when the UN Security Council refers cases to the ICC (e.g., Libya, Sudan), it can impose obligations on all states to cooperate, overriding Article 98 concerns. So it's possible to arrest Netanyahu without asking for himself to say "yes, I accept being arrested". But Article 98 is indeed ridiculous and should've been eliminated for a long time now.

[@TauvicRitter]

Its possible to get to France without flying over other countries airspace i guess. So technically Nethanyahu can have diner with Macron without to much fear of arrest.
