Israels Regierungschef Benjamin Netanyahu ist vom Internationalen Strafgerichtshof mit einem Haftbefehl belegt, Deutschland daran gebunden. Friedrich Merz will den Premier dennoch einladen. Nun gibt es Widerstand.
Friedrich Merz, the CDU leader and prospective Chancellor, has invited Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, to visit Germany despite an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Germany is legally obligated to enforce the ICC's decisions under the Rome Statute. SPD and Linke have criticized Merz's invitation, with SPD's Nils Schmid stating that international arrest warrants must be enforced. The Left Party called the invitation a 'catastrophe' and accused Merz of double standards. Merz has not specified how Netanyahu's visit would proceed without violating the arrest warrant. The situation highlights political tensions as Germany prepares to form a new government.
