Amid the ICC Chief Prosecutor’s decision to seek the arrest of Israeli leaders, Germany said it will arrest Netanyahu if he steps foot within their territory,
JERUSALEM - A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration for stating on Wednesday that his country would arrest and deport the leader of the Jewish state if the International Criminal Court implements a warrant for Netanyahu’s detainment and extradition. 'I am old enough to remember the German leader coming here days after October 7, and stating the Hamas are the new Nazis. They seek a genocide against the Jews.
Germany is a passionate supporter of the ICC and is one of its top donors. Netanyahu said about the ICC chief prosecutor’s act to issue arrest warrants for him and Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, that they are the latest examples of 'what the new antisemitism looks like.' A spokesman for the Federal German government said on Tuesday that 'The accusations of the chief prosecutor are serious and must be substantiated.
