They have only stated the intention, not an actual application for withdrawal. Also it has to go through parliament first, which probably is just a formality.
Article 127 of the Statute also states that ‘[t]he withdrawal shall take effect one year after the date of receipt of the notification, unless the notification specifies a later date.’
Fair enough. The whole ordeal of undermining the arrest order is quite frustrating (to say it mildly).
It also brings back memories about France, Germany, and others trying to ignore the order. I think Netanyahu is not going to try travelling there, though. There it might not be a political decision, but up to the judicial system. I hope the latter holds true…
I think m this was the reason he did not visit Poland a while ago.
