According to Ynet, hostage families engaged the prosecutor at The Hague to secure an immunity deal for Prime Minister Netanyahu, but the Israeli leader rejected the arrangement in July 2024.

The report suggests Netanyahu had the opportunity to receive protection from International Criminal Court prosecution but chose not to pursue the deal. The decision came amid ongoing negotiations regarding hostage releases.

Hostage families reportedly took extraordinary steps to facilitate negotiations with the ICC prosecutor, attempting to provide Netanyahu with legal cover against potential prosecution. The rejection of this offer raises questions about Netanyahu’s priorities regarding both hostage negotiations and his personal legal exposure.
