AI Summary:
Friedrich Merz is expected to be Germany’s next chancellor. He said he would make sure Benjamin Netanyahu can visit Germany. Merz said Netanyahu should meet after a new German government is formed. Netanyahu’s office said Merz invited the Israeli prime minister to visit Germany. In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant. Both Israel and Hamas say Deif was killed in July in an Israeli air strike. The Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, includes 124 state parties across six continents. The law operates on the basis of a presumption that people will obey it, international human rights lawyer Jonathan Kuttab says. Germany has been both a staunch ally of Israel and a strong backer of ICC.
