Netanyahu says Israeli special forces would rescue him if arrested abroad

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News that Israeli special forces would intervene to rescue him if he were arrested in a European country.
Several European governments have previously said they would act in accordance with their international legal obligations if Netanyahu were to enter their territory.
Netanyahu did not elaborate on how such a rescue operation would be carried out.
Any military operation conducted by one state on the territory of another without its consent would raise significant issues under international law and could trigger a serious diplomatic dispute.
Media reports have suggested the arrest warrant has complicated Netanyahu’s overseas travel, requiring careful consideration of destinations where the warrant could potentially be enforced.
