“The German government was involved in drafting the ICC Statute and is one of the ICC’s biggest supporters. This attitude is also the result of German history.“At the same time, as a consequence of German history, we are bound to Israel with unique relationships and great responsibility.
“We will carefully examine the domestic steps. Any further action would only be taken if it is foreseeable that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Joaw Galant will be visiting #Germany.”
So, keep them outside of German territory, and forget. 🙆
“as a consequence of German history, we may have some useful pointers for any future genocidaires and we’d hate to be left out”
