Members phkrause Posted May 1 Author Members Share Posted May 1 Netanyahu fears ICC arrest warrants A view of destruction after Israeli attacks in Rafah, Gaza, today. Photo: Abed Rahim Khatib/Anadolu via Getty Images Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked President Biden over the weekend to help prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials — including himself — Axios' Barak Ravid scoops. The ICC has been investigating possible war crimes by both Israeli forces and Palestinian militants dating back to the 2014 Israel-Hamas war. And Israeli officials have grown increasingly concerned over the last two weeks that the ICC is preparing to issue arrest warrants in connection with the war in Gaza. Possible targets include Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi. 💬 What they're saying: A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council declined to comment on the contents of Netanyahu's conversation with Biden but said, "The ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation and we do not support its investigation."

Members phkrause Posted May 1 Author Members Share Posted May 1 Why the International Criminal Court has Israeli officials worried Israeli officials are becoming increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court, the permanent court of last resort to prosecute individuals responsible for the world’s most heinous atrocities, could issue arrest warrants for the country’s leaders more than six months into the Israel-Hamas war. Read more. Why this matters: The ICC becomes involved when nations are unable or unwilling to prosecute crimes on their territory. Israel argues that it has a functioning court system, and disputes over a nation’s ability or willingness to prosecute have fueled past disputes between the court and individual countries. Dozens of countries do not accept the court’s jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide and other crimes. They include Israel, the United States, Russia and China. And, without a police force, the ICC relies on member states to arrest suspects, which has proven to be a major obstacle to prosecutions. Israel often levies accusations of bias at U.N. and international bodies. The ICC’s chief prosecutor at the time announced in 2021 that she was opening an investigation into possible crimes on Palestinian territory, a decision Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed as hypocritical and antisemitic.

Members phkrause Posted May 20 Author Members Share Posted May 20 War crimes prosecutor seeks arrest of Israeli and Hamas leaders, including Netanyahu JERUSALEM (AP) — The chief prosecutor of the world’s top war crimes court sought arrest warrants Monday for leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over actions taken during their seven-month war. https://apnews.com/article/icc-khan-netanyahu-070941d21ccd1f2b9611032b88527575? Outrage at The Hague The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor is facing a storm of bipartisan criticism over his decision to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials alongside leaders of Hamas. Why it matters: At a moment of deep tensions in U.S.-Israel relations, the historic step has prompted President Biden and other top Democrats to rally behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "The ICC prosecutor's application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous," Biden said in a terse statement. "And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas." The big picture: This is the first time the ICC has sought arrest warrants against a major U.S. ally or the leader of a democratic country, Axios' Barak Ravid reports. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan also is seeking warrants for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and two others for murder, hostage-taking, sexual violence and other crimes against humanity tied to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. Between the lines: Secretary of State Tony Blinken said that despite Israel not being a member of the ICC, Netanyahu's government was "prepared to cooperate" and had scheduled a visit for Khan as "early as next week." "These and other circumstances call into question the legitimacy and credibility of this investigation," Blinken said, slamming Khan for breaking the news on CNN. Go deeper. ICC blowback The International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to seek an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has garnered near universal condemnation from Senate Democrats. Why it matters: Netanyahu has been increasingly isolated by Democrats due to his handling of the war in Gaza, but the move from the ICC has many in the party jumping to his defense. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the decision by the ICC "profoundly unfair" and "reprehensible." The big picture: Democrats scoffed at the grouping of Israeli leaders with top officials for Hamas. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), a top Israel backer, told Axios the decision was "trash" and the ICC has "destroyed their own credibility." Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) also told Axios there was "no equivalence" between Israel and Hamas and the decision is "wrong and it's dangerous." Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), in a joint statement with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), slammed the ICC's "political move" that "seeks to undermine Israel as it defends itself." The other side: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) praised the ICC, saying it was "right to take these actions" and argued Netanyahu has "waged an unprecedented war of destruction against the entire Palestinian people." The bottom line: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said today the House may vote on sanctions against the ICC for seeking the warrants, Axios' Andrew Solender reports.

Members phkrause Posted May 22 Author Members Share Posted May 22 France and Belgium support ICC request for arrest warrants of Israel and Hamas leaders, in break from Western allies France and Belgium released statements supporting the world’s top war crimes court and its chief prosecutor's request for arrest warrants for leaders of Israel and Hamas, after Israel and the United States both harshly condemned the effort by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to seek arrest warrants for Israeli officials in connection with the seven-month war in Gaza. Read more. Why this matters: Divisions were emerging Tuesday among Israel’s Western allies as France and other European nations said they supported Khan’s decision. France, Belgium and Slovenia’s decisions to back the move deepens Israel’s isolation and splits the West over its approach to Israel and its conduct of the war in Gaza. Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders condemned the move as disgraceful and antisemitic while U.S. President Joe Biden lambasted the prosecutor and supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas. Hamas issued a separate statement denouncing the request to arrest its leaders, accusing Khan of trying to “equate the victim with the executioner.” Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, do not face imminent arrest, but the announcement was a symbolic blow over Israel's involvement in the war in Gaza. The threat of arrest could also make it very difficult for Israeli leaders to travel abroad.

Photo: Majdi Fathi/NurPhoto via Getty Images The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel "must immediately halt" its military operation in Rafah — the Hague-based court's first order about the war in Gaza, Axios' Barak Ravid reports. Why it matters: The court has no way of enforcing its orders, but the ruling is the latest sign of mounting international pressure on Israel to end the war. Israel's government remains defiant about continuing the war, but pledged in a statement to "act, in full compliance with the law, to reduce as much as possible the harm caused to the civilian population in Gaza."
