20 December 2024 09:55 GMT
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning to skip next month’s events in Poland marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, fearing potential arrest, Polish news outlet Rzeczpospolita reported.
Polish news outlet Rzeczpospolita reports that Israeli officials have not reached out to their Polish counterparts regarding Netanyahu's attendance. Warsaw believes the absence is tied to its commitment to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu "for crimes against humanity and war crimes" committed since 7 October.
The report says Israeli President Isaac Herzog also does not plan to attend the event.
