Ireland would be prepared to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to the country following the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued on Thursday, Prime Minister Simon Harris said.
"Yes absolutely. We support international courts and we apply their warrants," Harris told national broadcaster RTE on Friday when asked if Netanyahu would be arrested if he arrived in Ireland for whatever reason.
Slovenia will also respect arrest warrants for Israel and Hamas leaders issued by the ICC and "will fully comply", Prime Minister Robert Golob was quoted as saying by Slovenian news agency STA late on Thursday.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence chief, as well as a Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict.
Slovenia became in June the latest European Union country to recognise an independent Palestinian state after its parliament approved the move with majority vote.
