Israel seeks to suspend arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
ai generated text
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for several individuals, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes. The warrants were issued due to allegations that they used "starvation as a method of warfare" during the war on Gaza. Israel has strongly rejected the accusations and has announced that it will appeal against the warrants.
The State of Israel challenges the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the legitimacy of the arrest warrants issued.
If the court rejects this request, it will further demonstrate to Israel's friends in the United States and around the world how biased the International Criminal Court is against the State of Israel.
Netanyahu would never go to a country where he can be arrested … The arrest of Netanyahu is unfeasible, at least as long as he is prime minister.
Whatever the ICC might imply, there is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.
Rather than inferring that ICC indictees may enjoy immunity, France should expressly confirm its acceptance of the unequivocal legal duty under the Rome Statute to carry out arrest warrants.
No-one gets immunity from an ICC arrest warrant because they're in office - not Netanyahu, not Putin, no-one.
