Explained: Is ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu enforceable?

New Indian Express  

When the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant over war crimes recently, the top of the mind question was whether they were enforceable. Besides, not all ICC member states bother to implement the ICC’s fiat against someone as powerful as Netanyahu, one of the most protected heads of state with diplomatic immunity, even if they get the chance. When Russian President Vladimir Putin -- against whom an ICC arrest warrant is pending since March 2023 -- visited Mongolia in September this year, he was accorded a red-carpet welcome. In Netanyahu’s case, the reactions have been strong and polarised: US President Joe Biden called the warrants outrageous; Italy questioned the feasibility of the arrest warrants saying it will be difficult to execute; France, a day after it brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, nuanced its stance saying Bibi and Gallant have immunity from arrest because Israel is not an ICC member.
