Poland Says It Would Arrest Netanyahu If He Attends the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz
‘We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court,’ the country’s deputy foreign minister tells a Polish newspaper.
In a first test case for warrants issued by a global court at Hague, Poland is announcing it would arrest Prime Minister Netanayahu of Israel if he attends the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where an estimated 1 million Jews perished as part of the genocidal Nazi war against them.
“We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court,” Poland’s deputy foreign minister, Władysław Bartoszewski, who is charged with organizing the ceremony, claimed Friday, according to the Polish-language newspaper Rzeczpospolita. Dozens of world leaders are expected to attend the January 27 ceremony.
