Germany says it will arrest Netanyahu as Israeli envoy appeals to Berlin to defy ICC

Israel’s Ambassador to Berlin, Ron Prosor, was rebuffed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government on Wednesday after the envoy made a dramatic appeal on X, formerly Twitter, to the Federal government to reject the ICC’s legitimacy fully.

Scholz’s spokesman, Steffen Hebestreit, was asked on Wednesday if the German government would execute an ICC arrest order against Prime Minister Netanyahu for alleged war crimes during Swords of Iron.
Hebestreit said, "Of course. Yes, we abide by the law."
On Tuesday, before Hebestreit’s announcement, Prosor wrote on X in both German and English, “This is outrageous! The German 'Staatsräson' is now being put to the test—no ifs or buts. This contrasts with the weak statements we hear from some institutions and political actors. The public statement that Israel has the right to self-defense loses credibility if our hands are tied as soon as we defend ourselves.”

GERMANY??? I can scarcely believe it.

"We abide the law" - it sounds suspiciously like - "Befehl ist Befehl"....

In the early 1950s in Canada, we had neighbors named Von Spindler who had immigrated from Germany after the Second World War and who still felt strongly that Hitler had been a good man and that it was too bad Germany had lost the war.

Since they were outspoken to you about their view of Hitler, probably not difficult to guess what kind of beliefs they taught their kids. And those beliefs have likely been passed down, keeping antisemitism alive (and relevant-- especially if their [great] grandchildren are in a university right now).

Germany will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country amid allegations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, a spokesperson has confirmed

Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, confirmed on Wednesday the country would 'abide by the law' and arrest the under-fire Israeli leader should he visit the EU nation.

This comes after British prosecutor Karim Khan announced on Monday that he is seeking warrants for Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas terror chiefs including Yahya Sinwar, the ruler in Gaza who masterminded October 7.

• Germany is one of the biggest supporters of the International Criminal Court and is committed to further strengthening it. The International Criminal Court celebrated an anniversary in July 2023: 25 years ago – on 17 July 1998 – the Rome Statute was adopted, laying the foundation for the work of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

China, Russia, US and Israel are not members.
