Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, has warned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would face arrest if he sets foot in Poland, citing Warsaw’s obligation to enforce the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) war crimes warrant.With the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation approaching on January 27 — a significant state event — Israel remains silent on whether Netanyahu will attend.

Even President Isaac Herzog’s attendance now hangs in the balance, amplifying the diplomatic uncertainty.
