Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning to skip next month’s events in Poland marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, fearing potential arrest, Middle East Eye reports according to Polish news outlet Rzeczpospolita.
Rzeczpospolita adds that Israeli officials have not reached out to their Polish counterparts regarding Netanyahu’s attendance.
Warsaw believes the absence is tied to its commitment to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu “for crimes against humanity and war crimes” committed since October 7, 2023.
The report says Israeli President Isaac Herzog also does not plan to attend the event.
