Amnesty International revealed on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump is doubling down on his welcome of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the first foreign leader to visit the White House since his inauguration, by not arresting him or subjecting him to investigation.

"By welcoming the Israeli prime minister, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the US is demonstrating its contempt for international justice," Amnesty International added in a statement.

She continued: "The United States is obligated, under the Geneva Conventions, to search for and prosecute or extradite persons accused of committing war crimes, or ordering the commission of war crimes."

Amnesty International stressed that there should be no “safe haven” for individuals alleged to have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“Compliance with the ICC arrest warrants is crucial to bringing those responsible for Israel’s genocide in Gaza to justice,” she said.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued two arrest warrants against Netanyahu and then-Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant for their involvement in crimes against humanity and war crimes in Israel's military campaign on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of more than 47,000 Palestinians.
