During the call, Netanyahu reportedly expressed his anger and asked France not to enforce the Court’s decision.
While Macron has not made an official statement on the matter, information obtained by RMC from various sources suggests that Macron told Netanyahu during the conversation that France would uphold international law and noted that judges could grant immunity to heads of state.
On 21 November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
French Prime Minister, Michel Barnier, in remarks made on Tuesday during a session in parliament, said that France would fulfil its obligations under international law with regard to the ICC’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
