germany - Friedrich Merz's invitation to Israeli PM Netanyahu despite ICC arrest warrant causes uproar in Germany.

Merz's Controversial Invitation

Germany's future Chancellor Friedrich Merz's decision to invite Israeli PM Netanyahu to Berlin, despite the ICC arrest warrant, triggers backlash in the country. Merz's statement that 'It is unacceptable for an Israeli PM not to be able to come to Germany' has drawn criticism from various political factions.

Putin Comparison

Jan van Aken, Co-Chair of the Left Party, condemned Merz's remarks as 'hypocrisy,' emphasizing the importance of Germany adhering to international arrest warrants. The Left Party insists that the same standards should apply to all world leaders, including Putin and Netanyahu.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD), likely coalition partner with CDU, took a more cautious stance. SPD's foreign policy expert Nils Schmid stressed the importance of respecting the independence of the ICC and its decisions.

The ICC in The Hague intervened in the debate, reminding member states like Germany of their obligation to implement arrest warrants. As a signatory to the Rome Statute, Germany is expected to comply with the ICC's decisions regarding Netanyahu.
