Report: Netanyahu to Skip Auschwitz Event to Avoid Being Arrested for War Crimes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Times of Israel is reporting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu is planning to skip a major event in Poland next month to mark
80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at
Auschwitz out of fears he might be arrested for committing war crimes in
Gaza. In November, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest
warrant for Netanyahu, as well as his former defense minister, Yoav
Gallant. Poland's deputy foreign minister recently confirmed Poland
would comply with the ICC arrest warrants if Netanyahu visited Poland.
