Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to arrive in New York on Thursday to address the UN General Assembly, Shehab Wire reported. The visit has renewed calls for his arrest based on an International Criminal Court warrant issued against him.
The warrant, which remains in effect despite American security provisions, stems from allegations related to his conduct during the Gaza conflict. Netanyahu is traveling to the United States, which has not signed the ICC statute and does not recognize the court's jurisdiction.
