And in fact, France took the position that it would not enforce the warrant because the court lacks jurisdiction.

That same article says that they are required to enforce it

Is Netanyahu immune from the ICC arrest warrants as France claims? No.

And says

The French argument appears to centre around Article 98 of the Rome Statute.....Some 124 countries have ratified the Rome Statute, but Israel is not a signatory.

It's funny that France says Israel hasn't signed onto the ICC and is therefore immune based of the Rome Statute...but Israel hasn't signed onto the Rome Statute either, so it doesn't apply.

Regardless of France's pussyfooting, the ICC says that members have an obligation to adhere to the warrants.
