@metrouk: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly going to skip next month’s events in Poland marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, out of fear of being arrested according to Polish news outlet, Rzeczpospolita. The outlet said that that Israeli officials have not reached out to their Polish counterparts regarding Netanyahu’s attendance, because ‘They knew what Warsaw's response would be.’ Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Władysław Bartoszewski, who is responsible for coordinating the ceremony, said that Warsaw is obliged to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. The ICC issued the arrest warrant in November for the ‘war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.’ #news #middleeast #poland #polandnews #netenyahu #icc #arrest #warcrimes
