Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Poland's President Andrzej Duda officially requested the government provide an exemption for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from arrest under an ICC warrant. This request comes as Poland prepares to host the 80th anniversary commemoration of the Auschwitz Nazi death camp liberation on January 27.

While some countries have indicated they will not arrest him, Polish authorities have not confirmed Netanyahu's attendance at the event, where he previously participated.
