The Netherlands is prepared to act upon the arrest warrant issued by the ICC against Netanyahu if needed, Dutch news agency ANP has reported, citing the country’s Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp.
If the Israeli leader comes to Dutch soil, he will be arrested, Veldkamp said in the House of Representatives, local outlet Nos reported.
- The Netherlands will also avoid “non-essential” contact with Netanyahu, Gallant and Deif, who were also issued arrest warrants by the ICC today.
- “The Netherlands implements the Rome Statute 100 percent,” the foreign minister said.
The signatories of the Rome Statute and members of the ICC are bound to arrest the three if they travel to their country.
