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.

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.

Add the UK and that's most of the world history right there

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
