France says Israeli PM Netanyahu can't be arrested by ICC due to Israel's non-membership.

France stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is immune from an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) due to Israel's non-membership in the ICC. This stance, which protects Netanyahu from prosecution, has sparked criticism from human rights groups, who argue that no one should be immune from ICC warrants. France emphasized its commitment to international justice but noted it cannot act in a way that conflicts with its international obligations regarding non-member states' immunities.
