Polish president demands immunity from arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu at Auschwitz

Poland's President Andrzej Duda is requesting the government to ensure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can attend Auschwitz commemorations without arrest risk, according to a Polish presidential aide.
Netanyahu is wanted internationally due to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court related to the Gaza war, accusing him of crimes against humanity.
As a signatory to the International Criminal Court treaty, Poland is obligated to arrest Netanyahu if he enters the country.
Duda's request highlights the tension between Poland's legal obligations and the right of Israeli officials to participate in the anniversary.
