Suryaa Now International Desk: Internationally interesting discussion on the political future of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the legal issues he is facing... There is an interesting international debate on the political future of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the legal issues he is facing. If he is defeated in the future elections, questions are coming to the fore whether he will be arrested immediately. Currently, Netanyahu is facing three serious corruption cases at home, and is also facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Mandatory arrest if he goes to ICC member countries: Whether he wins or loses the election, legal experts make it clear that if Netanyahu travels to any of the ICC member countries, those countries will have to legally arrest him. According to the rules of international law, it is the responsibility of the member states to execute the warrant issued by the ICC. However, this provision is applicable during foreign travel even if the Prime Minister is in office or has lost his post. Corruption trial at home When will he be jailed?
On the other hand, if the court finds him guilty in the three corruption cases pending against him at home, Netanyahu will have to face jail time. That also depends on the verdict given by the court if he wins the election and assumes power again or loses the position. Analysts make it clear that just because he lost the election and stepped down from office, there is no legal obligation for him to go to jail immediately.
