France was among the first states that announced they would uphold the court’s decision, although officials have not explicitly said they would arrest Netanyahu.
However, the ministry on Wednesday alleged that Netanyahu is covered by immunity as a sitting head of government because Israel is not a member of the ICC. It is the first time a member of the court has argued this in Netanyahu’s case.
France’s argument was previously used by states that refused to arrest Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. But the court has consistently rejected those arguments as unfounded.
So yeah, there is no credibility for the ICC. Because of the actions of these countries, the ICC is now a theater court for theater cases. The whole world was watching and it was demonstrated that its use is merely a political tool for countries that aren’t part of a specific sphere of influence and not an impartial court of international law.
What a shame and disgrace. We will ALL suffer the repercussions of the actions taking place today by countries such as France, the US and Germany.

It’s still the most powerful court in the world, even if countries who agreed to respect it cower away from their promises when it comes time to act.
Netanyahu is a war criminal who is extending a conflict to avoid going to prison for his corruption conviction.
Add the UK and that’s most of the world history right there
Don’t forget Canada, I bet if the criminal decide to visit they will do nothing and use the same broken logic.
