Germany will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country amid allegations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court, a spokesperson has confirmed.
Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, confirmed on Wednesday the country would 'abide by the law' and arrest the under-fire Israeli leader should he visit the EU nation.
This comes after British prosecutor Karim Khan announced on Monday that he is seeking warrants for Netanyahu, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas terror chiefs including Yahya Sinwar, the ruler in Gaza who masterminded October 7.

“The current ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, despite touting his Muslim background and quoting the Quran, was the favored candidate of the US and Israel for his current position.”
Any questions?
The New Neo Nazis keep on hating the Jews.
[1. The leaders and supporters of Communism in the 20th century were disproportionately Jewish.
2. Communism stole exponentially more from its victims worldwide than did the Nazis (and murdered a whole lot more people).
3. Reparations to victims of Communism have been practically nothing. And practically none of the perpetrators have ever been brought to justice (though many were consumed by their own revolution).]
Ultimately, Germany got less than it deserved at war’s end. It killed over 30m, lost 8m in a war of extermination it began. Reciprocity would have seen it erased from the earth, processed as Jews were at Treblinka, Sobibor, et al.
Well, what do ya’ know? Germany doesn’t like Jews... Hmmmm...

Reparations have always been a part of peace settlements. The powerful German American lobby, strong enough to throttle war preparations as Germany grew stronger and increasingly belligerent, helped Germany win the peace by vetoing any attempt at a punitive peace. As a result, Germany paid a tiny fraction of what it should have, for the atrocities it brought forth. As compensation to the countries razed by Germany, the US created the Marshall Plan and threw its markets wide open, paving the way for the eventual collapse of many iconic American brands.
It’s not some cosmic rule that Germany paid next to nothing, but American insistence. The hordes of German immigrants who crossed the Atlantic a century prior paid off for Berlin.
[Keystone Kops.
The Israelis trained Grenzschutzgruppe 9, which is the elite German tactical unit created for such situations.]
Show me a hostage rescue of similar size that the Germans did a "decent job" of.
I thought the Marshall Plan was an attempt to correct the punitive measures inflicted on Germany at Versailles after WWI, when America was taking orders from France and the UK.
That was the first time, in 1972, that hostages were to be rescued. Thus, small wonder that it went horribly wrong.
Eternal fame to the souls of those who were lost 🙁
P.S.: and the entire affair around the ICC warrant was a lose-lose situation from the outset.
A) heed the potential ( yes, it’s not valid yet) warrant and alienate the Netanyahu Administration;
or B) ignore the potential warrant and become an outcast nation in the eyes of the EU „partners“.
No way out.
Still, one cannot praise MP Netanyahu‘s calm, collected handling of the delicate situation enough.🙂
He knows what an utter dilemma it is for Scholz and his friends, and, great statesman that Netanyahu is, he knows of all the possible implications- and that Scholz and friends are just small fry, as politicians.
It was also meant to keep the rest of Europe from falling under Soviet domination.
Italy and France both almost went Commie after WWII.
