Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should attend the United Nations General Assembly despite an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him, Al Jazeera English reported. Jetten's position contrasts with his government's stated commitment to ICC jurisdiction and international law.
The Dutch PM's remarks come as questions mount over whether countries will enforce the court's arrest warrant if Netanyahu travels to New York for the UNGA meeting.
