- ncallaway 1y agoYes, but it does significantly limit any "flee the country" options for escaping domestic charges.
- t-3 1y agoNot all that much. Practically speaking, NATO countries will not arrest him.
- amelius 1y agoICC is being hosted by a NATO country ...
- t-3 1y agoNetanyahu has visited countries which are signatories and not been arrested. Even politicians in the Netherlands have said that they will not arrest him if he comes.
- amelius 1y agoThose visits only happened because he was given the guarantee of not being arrested. I.e. they happened in the name of diplomacy. Also, don't mix up a politician's personal opinions and official policy.

- ricardobeat 1y agoThe main charge is for the war crime of “starvation as a method of warfare”. There is nothing political about that, and any measure of righteousness in what lead to it is irrelevant.
- beepbopboopp 1y agoYou're referring to the cutting off of supply lines into places where the enemy has chosen to embed themselves. With almost infinite video proof of misappropriation of all humanitarian aid (food and supplies) of their citizens during the conflict. This is literally how every war since time has gone. The "Starvation" nomenclature is propganda, which to their credit they are CRUSHING at.
- amelius 1y ago> With almost infinite video proof One-sided proof. The Isreali already made themselves impossible by banning the press.
- beepbopboopp 1y agoProof is an absolute word
- catlifeonmars 1y agoYep. Israel is still a party to the starvation and restriction of humanitarian aid. Hamas notwithstanding. Both sides can be evil. Two wrongs don’t make a right etc etc.
- amelius 1y ago> misappropriation of all humanitarian aid International organizations already warned that this might happen if the Israelis and USA would try to supply the aid directly by themselves, because this requires a level of expertise that they simply don't have. However, Netanyahu wanted to take matters in his own hands and the result was another crime against humanity.
- closewith 1y agoThat is too broad. There are NATO countries who will not currently arrest Netanyahu, but not all. The tide of public opinion has turned against Israel in even the countries most supportive like Germany and the US, so it's only a matter of time.
