International Criminal Court issues warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas leader | DW News

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas official Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri amid the conflict in Gaza. In its statement, the court said it had "reasonable grounds" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant oversaw attacks on the civilian population in Gaza, and that they were also alleged to have used starvation as an instrument of war. It said that Israel's acceptance of the court's jurisdiction was not required. Israel is not a member of the court, seated in The Hague in the Netherlands.

ICC is doing its job. A rarity these days.

Will Germany support international law and justice or support the apartheid state plausibly commiting genocide ?

I'd like to suggest that Scholz invites Bibi Nosferatu on a state visit. Once he steps off the plane, Germany is obliged to handcuff him.

[rudyalfonsus]

[robertmusil]

Oh dear, Herr Scholz. Have you been aiding and abetting a suspected war criminal? And how does one say "Schadenfreude" in German?

Why cut water and food from 2 million people Bibi? 😊

The Israeli PM would like to thank all German media outlets for their canine loyalty and craven support at this difficult time. Present company included. What's the prison time for "journalists" who spend 13 months manufacturing consent for crimes against humanity?

Regarding jurisdiction, Palestine is a member of ICC and these crimes are being committed by Israel on Palestinian soil.

[ragesmirk]

This won't impact Netanyahu. On the contrary, within Israel he will garner more political support.

[Gospel-coalition]

[resurrectedone]

Israel has lost the war, and the Israeli settler colonial project is failing.
