Provisions for immunity from prosecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC) apply to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the French foreign ministry said on Wednesday, November 27. In a statement the ministry reaffirmed its commitment to international justice after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, but also said that the Israeli leader was covered by immunity rules that apply to states which are not a party to the ICC. Israeli is not an ICC member.

Israel’s military launched airstrikes across Lebanon on Monday, unleashing explosions throughout the country and killing at least 31.
The attacks came as Israeli leaders appeared to be closing in on a negotiated ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group.
Israeli strikes hit commercial and residential buildings in Beirut, as well as the port city of Tyre.
Military officials said they targeted areas known as Hezbollah strongholds.
