The Dutch foreign minister declined to deny that talks are underway to curb the powers of the International Criminal Court, Middle East Eye reported. Members of Parliament pressed the minister on whether the Netherlands is discussing restrictions that could shield Israeli and U.S. officials from prosecution.
The exchange in parliament suggests potential diplomatic efforts to constrain the ICC's jurisdiction, though the minister's non-denial provides no confirmation of specific negotiations or their scope.
