Norway would arrest Netanyahu if ICC issues warrant

Norway’s foreign minister said that the Nordic country would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him.

“If he or one of the Hamas leaders who are also indicted should appear in Norway, then we are obliged by international law to do so. The same applies to all countries in Europe with the exception of Turkey,” Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in an interview on Norweigan TV.

Forty-four European countries are members of the ICC. Turkey is not a member of the court.
