France says it ‘takes note’ of ICC arrest warrants against Israel

France on Friday said it had taken note of the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant.

“France takes note of this decision. True to its long-standing commitment to supporting international justice, it reiterates its attachment to the independent work of the court,” the French foreign ministry says in a statement, without specifying if the men would be arrested if they entered French territory.
