Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp confirmed that his government will arrest Israeli leaders if they enter the country following the ICC’s arrest warrants for them. 124 countries signed the Rome Statue of International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002, which means all of these countries will arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they enter it.

CROSSFIREARABIA – Due to the recent arrest warrant, issued Thursday, by the International Criminal Court, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can no longer travel to 124 countries or he will be arrested on point of entry and put in jail for Israel’s genocide on Gaza that he refuses to stop.
Already many countries, including his allies (Germany, Canada, UK and Australia are mulling about the fact of what today about Netanyahu if they find him on their doorstep and/or flying over their airspace.
What utter humiliation for Israel and its prime minister who insists on continuing his genocide on Gaza and now Lebanon.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on Thursday expressed reservations about the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant but confirmed that Italy would be obligated to enforce the warrants if they entered the country.
Speaking during a televised interview, Crosetto remarked that while he believes the ICC’s decision is “wrong,” as a signatory to the Rome Statute, Italy must comply with international law.
“Since we are a party to the ICC, if Netanyahu and Gallant come to Italy, we will have to arrest them. This is not a political decision but the enforcement of international legislation,” he stated according to Anadolu.
In a landmark move, the International Criminal Court on Thursday announced it had issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over war crimes in Palestinian territories, including Gaza.
The warrants come as Israel’s genocidal offensive in Gaza recently entered its second year, having already killed some 44,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured over 103,000 others.
Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani echoed a more cautious tone.
“We will review the content of the decision and the reasons behind it,” Tajani said, emphasizing that the ICC should maintain a strictly legal role, free from political influences.
“Together with our allies, we will assess what will happen and determine what actions to take and how to proceed.”
Tajani’s remarks provoked backlash from the opposition Five Star Movement (M5S), whose parliamentarians called his comments “shocking and shameful.”
In a joint statement, M5S members noted that the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell affirmed the binding nature of ICC decisions on EU member states.
