Amnesty Calls on US to Arrest Netanyahu During Washington Visit

DID Press: Amnesty International has urged US authorities to respect the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and detain him during his visit to Washington for possible transfer to face trial.

The human rights organization said governments must uphold their legal obligations and avoid providing immunity or protection to individuals accused of international crimes.

Amnesty emphasized that compliance with international justice mechanisms is essential to ensuring accountability and preventing impunity for alleged violations of international law.

The call comes as Netanyahu travels to the United States amid ongoing international debate over legal actions and accountability related to the war in Gaza.
