US EditionNetanyahu Skipped 'Board Of Peace' Signing In Davos On ICC Arrest Fears
Netanyahu avoided Davos due to International Criminal Court arrest warrants accusing him of war crimes in Gaza; Israel's President Herzog attended and criticized the exclusion.
- On Tuesday, Israel's President Isaac Herzog travelled to Davos to represent the country after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu skipped the forum over ICC arrest concerns.

- Herzog criticised the exclusion and described the ICC's actions as `politically motivated`, saying any pardon request must be reviewed by the Justice Ministry; he also received a personal appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump.
- After acknowledging domestic cost, Herzog stressed that any pardon must pass formal Justice Ministry assessments and confirmed Netanyahu's trial is harming Israel.
- Amid a heavy civilian toll in Gaza, the ICC action and travel risks have heightened diplomatic strain as Israeli authorities suppressed protests with mounted police, stun grenades and water cannon, while President Isaac Herzog urged legal paths.
