Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBerlin will carefully examine the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense chief, but will not take further steps until a visit to Germany is planned, a government spokesperson says.
“The German government was involved in the drafting of the ICC statute and is one of the biggest supporters of the ICC — this attitude is also the result of German history,” the spokesperson says.
