'We have special forces': Netanyahu unbothered by global threats of arrest
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed indifference to the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against him, citing Israeli special forces for protection. His flight to Washington passed through airspace of ICC member states, drawing criticism for aiding an 'internationally wanted leader'. The ICC issued the warrant in November 2024 for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
