Netanyahu to skip Auschwitz liberation event in Poland over 'ICC arrest fears'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend an event marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland over fears he would be arrested and handed over to the International Criminal Court (ICC), Polish media has reported.

Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, Poland's deputy foreign minister, who is organising the ceremony, told Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita that Warsaw was committed to respecting the ICC's decisions.
