ICC arrest warrants 'makes a different to world opinion'

"...Michael Mansfield, an international human rights lawyer, says Israel is an "unjust state that has never respected the rule of law".

Israel is trying to "deflect responsibility" and its the objective has been to destroy Gaza and make it "uninhabitable", Mansfield told Al Jazeera.

Netanyahu will not end the war in Gaza, he said, until this objective is met.

"If he ends the war, he is in trouble. He's in trouble if he leaves the country ... and if he stays in Israel ... he's awaiting prosecution there", Mansfield said.

The issuing of the ICC warrants "makes a different to world opinion, because I don't think that the regime in Israel have recognised the extent in which they are being isolated – morally isolated", he said..."

ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant for war crimes

"...The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant over war crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The court’s Pre-Trial Chamber I issued warrants of arrest for Netanyahu and Gallant "for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024, the day the Prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest”, it confirmed in a statement Thursday.

It is the first instance in the court's 22-year history it has issued arrest warrants for Western-allied senior officials..."

"...All 124 states that signed the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court, are now under an obligation to arrest the wanted individuals and hand them over to the ICC in the Hague.

The court relies on the cooperation of member states to arrest and surrender suspects. The Netherlands' foreign minister quickly said his country was prepared to enforce the warrants while 93 nations earlier reiterated their support for the ICC..."

Now, Mr. Mercer might argue that there's no such thing as "war crimes" -- that all's fair in war.. But this has to be good news that 124 countries have come out against Bibiboy and and his partner in crimes. What will Bibi do now? What will Trump and his Israel First cabinet, ambassadors and advisors do now?

Don't worry, brother. I've got your back. Together we will make Israel great again.

ICC's decision ‘slap in the face’ for German government: Opposition lawmaker

"...Germany's pro-Israeli government faced mounting pressure Thursday to end its support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration following the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant for the Israeli leader.

“This arrest warrant is also a slap in the face for Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock,” Sahra Wagenknecht, a prominent left-wing politician, said on social media.

She urged the government to immediately impose an arms embargo on Israel.

“What else does it take for the federal government to end its support for the war crimes of the Netanyahu government in Gaza? Arms embargo against Israel, now!” demanded the leader of the left-wing BSW party.

The German government has been a staunch supporter of Israel, with Scholz repeatedly emphasizing Germany’s special responsibility for Israel’s security due to the country’s Nazi past.

Berlin resumed arms sales to Israel in October, despite international concerns about a genocidal military campaign in the Gaza Strip..."

How US politicians responded to Netanyahu's ICC arrest warrant

"...When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in front of the United States Congress earlier this year, the lawmakers stood up and clapped for him dozens of times.

Now that he is a formally suspected war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the adoration he received in Washington, DC, in July from US politicians is turning into anger and threats against the Hague-based tribunal.

ICC pre-trial judges issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for charges of using starvation as a method of warfare as well as the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

The court found that there were reasonable grounds that the Israeli siege of Gaza "created conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population".

With a few exceptions, US politicians from both major parties expressed outrage at the court’s decision, with many questioning the court’s legitimacy..."

Pro-Palestinian Iranian demonstrators urge Israel’s expulsion from UN after Netanyahu ICC warrant

"...Iranian demonstrators have gathered outside the United Nations office in the capital Tehran to condemn the Israeli regime’s war crimes after arrest warrants were issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber I issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant "for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024, the day the Prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest”, it confirmed in a statement Thursday.

It is the first instance in the court's 22-year history it has issued arrest warrants for Western-allied senior officials.

Hundreds of protesters on Friday called for the UN’s immediate and firm move to expel the Israeli regime from the world body and other international organizations.

They denounced the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal and criminal acts against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip.

The protesters slammed international bodies, including the UN, over their failure to stop Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon..."

ICC warrants may lead to EU arms embargo on 'Israel' Globes

"...The Israeli newspaper Globes reported Thursday that the recent decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant might pave the way for a European arms embargo on the Israeli occupation.

The decision significantly strengthens the position of those accusing the Israeli occupation of committing war crimes in Gaza and advocates for severing diplomatic ties, halting arms sales, and imposing broader boycotts.

According to the report, the ruling is likely to have several immediate repercussions, including restrictions on the travel of Israeli politicians. However, the most serious outcome could be increased difficulty in importing weapons due to fears - now backed by high-level legal justification - that such arms might be used to commit war crimes..."
