A top European Union representative claims member states of the International Criminal Court have no choice but to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters their country.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Friday said there could be options for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the Netherlands without being arrested, despite the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against him.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister, and several Hamas officials. The court accuses them of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the ongoing war in Gaza and the October 2023 attacks that sparked Israel's offensive in Palestinian territory.
