Are Israeli soldiers at risk of arrest abroad?

Arsen Ostrovsky: So far, Israel has been able to stay ahead of this particular incident. But that may not always be the case.

Israel needs to make clear to every country that if they should try and indict or arrest an Israeli individual, that will severely harm their bilateral relations with the State of Israel.

Israel, working with allies, primarily the United States, should make clear to other countries that if they should entertain lawfare campaigns to abuse the rule of law and international legal system for these vexatious and baseless claims, they too will suffer the consequences, including possible sanctions upon these countries.
