French stance on Netanyahu causes diplomatic puzzle after court decision

Frances diplomatic services made an announcement on nov 27th stating their plan to keep working with Benjamin Netanyahu‚ despite recent legal developments

The International Criminal Court took action couple weeks ago issuing warrants for several high-ranking figures: Netanyahu‚ a former defence minister and Hamas military leadership (all facing accusations related to the middle-east conflict that started about a year ago)

French representatives dont give straight answers when asked about potential arrest scenarios – creating an interesting diplomatic situation. When questioned about what would happen if Netanyahu visits Paris; officials provide unclear responses: leaving room for interpretation in terms of international law vs bilateral relations

The whole situation shows complex nature of international diplomacy – where countries need to balance their legal obligations against practical diplomatic needs. French authorities maintain their position that working with Israeli leadership remains important; despite current circumstances
