Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has assured that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have safe passage and will not face arrest if he attends the 80th-anniversary commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz later this month, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
The assurance follows a call by Polish President Andrzej Duda for the government to guarantee Netanyahu's security. In a letter obtained by Bloomberg News, Duda cited the "absolutely exceptional circumstances" surrounding the event.
Netanyahu is currently under an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
“Anyone who wishes to attend the Auschwitz commemoration, any representative of the state of Israel, will be guaranteed security,” Tusk stated during a press briefing in Warsaw on Thursday, as quoted by Bloomberg.
The commemoration is set for January 27 at the site of the Nazi death camp in southern Poland. Polish media reported in late December that Netanyahu will not travel to Poland for the events due to the arrest warrant against him.
While all European Union (EU) member states are signatories to the ICC's founding treaty, there have been differing interpretations of how to handle the warrants.
France has stated that Netanyahu has immunity from ICC actions because Israel has not ratified the court’s statutes. Similarly, Italy has argued that arresting Netanyahu would not be feasible while he remains in office as Israel's Prime Minister.
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof suggested last month that there could be ways for Netanyahu to visit the Netherlands without being arrested, despite the ICC arrest warrant against him.

I would trust Tusk about as far as I could throw him.
Probably a big boar.
Tusk is a leftist a-hole who backed into office because of the opposition vote split.

Because the women love their abortions in Poland, too.
I absolutely agree… don’t trust em Bibi.
I would have thought that the Poles had learned their lessons about communism and globalist institutions stealing their freedoms but maybe they have to have more tough lessons to learn. The ICC is a rogue transnational entity that wants to stomp its boot into the faces of all free people worldwide.
They could strengthen that position if they issued their own arrest warrants for ICC officials and agents.
WOW... that’s mighty white of you.
Only if they defend themselves. China’s not getting any heat for its genocide. Russia isn’t under indictment for war crimes.
I think I have seen this movie before, “ Work makes you free.” 😡
That’s pretty white of him!
Wtheck? Didnt even see your comment!
They have to swear no take-backs on a stack of Bibles and no fingers crossed.
Even then, I wouldn’t trust them. They already signaled their intent.
Great minds! LOL We will probably be in the same barracks in reeducation camp.
Not that I have to tell him that. I am sure that my level of suspicion is well below his because I do not have people shooting rockets at my country on a daily basis.
But still.
My advise stands.
Ask General Pinochet how that "trust" thing worked out for him.
Islam is Poland’s future if they don’t kick out these leftist Cretins
Not a big fan of pro-”gay” secular liberal Netanyahu, but I wouldn’t go if I were him. (Or is it if I where he?)
“How big of them.”
Do you expect that cunt Tusk to sort out Netanyahu’s legal problems ? Or do you expect me to collect money to get him some lawyers ?
