The Israeli newspaper Arab 48 <https://www.arab48.com/%D8%A5%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/2024/12/20/%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%88-%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%A8-%D8%B9%D9%86-%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%A5%D8%AD%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%B0%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%89-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A3%D9%88%D8%B4%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AA%D8%B2-%D8%AE%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87>reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be able to travel to Poland for the 80th annual commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz Nazi death camp because he fears being arrested on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
*Arab 48* reports that the Polish newspaper *Rzeczpospolita*, the organizer of the ceremony to be held on January 27, Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, said, “We are bound to respect the decision of the International Criminal Court in the Hague.” *Rzeczpospolita* reported that the Israeli state never asked that Netanyahu participate in the ceremonies, since the Israelis know very well what Warsaw’s response would be if Netanyahu traveled there. Netanyahu has throughout his political career played politics with the Holocaust, so it is deeply ironic that he cannot attend the ceremony because he is charged with himself having committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Genocide scholars have criticized <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-gaza-palestinians-holocaust> the use of the Holocaust to justify Israeli atrocities in Gaza. https://www.juancole.com/2024/12/netanyahu-auschwitz-ceremony.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
