Warsaw has refused to honor the international arrest warrant for Israel’s prime minister
Hundreds of people marched in Warsaw on Friday to protest against the Polish government’s confirmation that it won't arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the country.
In November, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, on charges of committing war crimes in Gaza. On Thursday, the office of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Warsaw would not arrest Netanyahu if the Israeli leader travels to Poland for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi Auschwitz death camp during World War II.
Protesters rallied outside the Presidential Chancellery building, waving Palestinian flags and posters with anti-Netanyahu slogans.
The crowd chanted “arrest Netanyahu,” as well as accusations that Tusk and Polish President Andrzej Duda are “defending genocide.” (more...)
