Full list of 124 countries to arrest Netanyahu for ICC

Shortly after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued its arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the EU’s foreign policy chief issued a reminder.

“These decisions are binding on all states party to the Rome Statute, which includes all EU member states,” Josep Borrell submitted on X.

The Israeli prime minister and former defense minister is accused of “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and crimes against humanity in the form of murder, persecution and other inhuman acts”.

All 124 members of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, are now forced to arrest the two Israelis and hand them over to the court.

Both leaders are likely to limit their travel to avoid being detained – something Russia’s Vladmir Putin has been doing since being indicted by the ICC last March.

Some member states have flouted their commitment in the past: Both South Africa and Jordan failed to arrest Omar Hassan al-Bashir when the Sudanese autocrat visited them, drawing the ire of human rights groups and the ICC.

Many of the states that will be forced to extradite Netanyahu and Gallant are allies of Israel, including Britain, France, Germany and Hungary.

The ICC does not have enforcement powers, but instead relies on the cooperation of member states to arrest and surrender suspects.

France and the Netherlands have both already indicated that they will act on warrants if necessary.
