Netanyahu Skips ‘board Of Peace’ Signing In Davos Over Fears Of Arrest

Switzerland has stated it would enforce the ICC warrant against Netanyahu should he visit the country

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to attend the signing ceremony for US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Switzerland on 22 January, over fears he would be arrested for war crimes commited in Gaza if he set foot in the country.

Trump held the ceremony on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss city of Davos.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog took Netanyahu’s place at the WEF, which gathers western leaders from politics, business, and civil society to discuss global issues.

Over 20 leaders attended, including Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani.

In 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and then-Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally directing attacks against civilians, and crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
