G7 Foreign ministers are set for a meeting to reach a common position on the recent arrest warrant issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court of Justice, ICC.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who is hosting the two-day conference in the small Italian town of Fiuggi, said on Monday that he does not think reaching a consensus on the arrest warrant will be difficult.
“It’s not an immediate and actual problem. I don’t think Netanyahu will come to Italy or anywhere else,” he told the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera before the meeting.
DAILY POST recalls that the ICC on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the recently dismissed Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant.
The warrant which also affected the Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, followed alleged war crimes relating to the conflict in Gaza.
Israel’s allies had criticised the decision and member states of the ICC were generally obliged to enforce the arrest warrants, though there is disagreement over how to handle Netanyahu’s case.
In addition to the Middle East crisis, the war in Ukraine and the implications of Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. president for the international order are among the main topics on the agenda for the meeting, which is the final one between the G7 foreign ministers for this year.
The G7 foreign ministers would also discuss the threat to the self-governing island democracy of Taiwan, which the Chinese Communist leadership in Beijing regards as its territory.
Italy holds the presidency of the G7 until the end of the year.

The 1 Brigade of the Nigeria Army stationed in Gusau, Zamfara State capital has vowed that the banditry era in the northwest zone will soon come to an end.
Speaking with journalists in Gusau, the Commandant, Brigadier General Ajose vowed that the elimination of dreaded bandits’ leaders is at hand.
“We in the military formation have designed formidable strategies to end banditry because it has become a teething problem to the masses”, he lamented.
He noted that military operatives have been mounted at strategic locations on the Gusau-Funtua highway to check the rampant kidnapping of travellers along that axis.
“I am assuring the general public that the constant news of kidnappings along the road will no longer occur because our men are fully ready for the kidnappers”
He further stated that the troops of the military were very ready to battle the bandits on operation fire for fire, assuring that, the battle would soon come to an end.
He, however, appealed to members of the communities to assist the military and other security agencies with useful information to tackle the terrorists.
“We are not against the members of the communities but we are against the bad eggs aiding bandits in the communities”
“No one can imagine why the security operatives will be protecting villagers while some individuals will be frustrating their efforts”
“We are calling on the informants to allow us do our work as professionals. We are not begging anybody, but we don’t want to shed innocent blood”
