France won't arrest Netanyahu if he helps reach agreement with Lebanon

The French President and the Israeli Prime Minister have reached a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. France agreed to play a key role in this process, and the Israeli Prime Minister will be exempt from criminal prosecution. The French Foreign Ministry said the country would cooperate with the International Criminal Court, but noted that the immunity of states not participating in the court's work must be respected.

France, a signatory to the Rome Statute, will not arrest Netanyahu or hand him over to The Hague, despite an arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza. In exchange for renouncing prosecution of Israeli officials, France will receive an important role in the committee monitoring the implementation of the UN resolution. Macron and Netanyahu discussed the situation in Lebanon and agreed to such conditions.

Israel has previously expressed protests against France's participation in the diplomatic process in Lebanon. However, following the agreement to clear the prime minister from prosecution, Paris will have an important role in monitoring compliance with the UN Security Council resolution.
