Netanyahu Seeks German Visit Amid ICC Warrant
Germany's likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit, promising to find ways for him to do so without being arrested under a warrant by the International Criminal Court. Despite widespread criticism, Merz views the invitation as a matter of principle and solidarity with Israel. The move is seen as a test of Germany's commitment to international justice versus its historical ties to the Jewish state.
