    Eh. Shit like this is just political wordplay.
    No one has ever been a nation leader and arrested in another country on charges before. Except for WW2 in the aftermath.

      No Ugandan-born Muslim anti-zionist Democratic Socialist has ever been mayor of New York before either. A lack of precedent doesn’t make either impossible no matter how many people used to think so.

      The fact that the leaders in question knows damn well which countries they will be arrested in probably have something to do with it. If Netanyahu is told he will be arrested if he comes to NY there’s a really good chance that he will not come to NY.

        He’s already responded to this and said he’d come to NY with Trump.

          Are you seeing many people traveling to places where they have known arrest orders on them?

            Considering that Netenyahu became so cocky because the whole world besides the houthis lwt him to anything he want he will probably go there

              No, because the point is to tell them they’re not welcome. Not being able to go to meetings in the UN in NY would be a big embarrassment for Israel or any other nation.

                So if he doesn’t show up, or he does and he’s not arrested, and you’ll still point at me as wrong somehow. Cuz it doesn’t fit your tidy world view.

                  I disagree that barring a world leader from entering your jurisdiction is just political word play as you put it. I’m not sorry at all if that does not fit your world view.

                    Since he distanced himself from globalize the intifhadha i start to doubt that he would arrest Netenyahu
