They changed their mind about the detention. France said Netanyahu has immunity from ICC

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant could have been detained by France, but the decision was ultimately changed. France refers to international law and the immunities granted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to non-parties. Amnesty International said France's position was contrary to its obligations as a member of the ICC.

The court stated that the defendants deprived the civilian population of Gaza of items necessary for survival. Members of the Israeli government then accused the court in The Hague of anti-Semitism after issuing arrest warrants.

Josep Borrell noted that ICC arrest warrants for Israeli politicians are mandatory for EU countries. US President Joe Biden called the arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant “outrageous.” The entire process caused widespread controversy and controversy in the international community.
