EU Member Slovenia Bans Israel’s Netanyahu From Entering Country

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) – Slovenia on Thursday said it was banning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the European Union country to underscore its defense of international law.

The decision was linked to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against the Israeli prime minister, Foreign Ministry official Neva Grasic said, according to the official STA news agency.

The EU nation of some 2 million people, which recognized a Palestinian state last year, has been a vocal critic of Israeli actions in Gaza and Thursday´s move against Netanyahu was apparently designed to underscore the country´s policies.

Slovenia already had barred Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country and imposed an arms embargo on Israel.

“All countries that are bound by the international court, including Slovenia, must not recognize the situation resulting from Israel´s illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, and must not offer any support in maintaining this situation,” she added.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) – Slovenia on Thursday said it was banning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the European Union country to underscore its defense of international law.

That's a bit of an oxymoron since the International Criminal Court has absolutely no jurisdiction over Israel or individual Israelis, thus the court's decision against Israel is null and void from the getgo. Only countries that were foolish enough to voluntarily submit themselves to International Court decisions are at least in theory bound by them.
