It unavoidable that an arrest warrant will be issued which will oblige all member states of the UN to honor their obligation to arrest.

There will be scores of arrest warrants against Israeli government ministers and IDF leaders and individual soldiers.

Israel fears International Criminal Court is preparing ARREST WARRANT for Benjamin Netanyahu for breaking international laws in Gaza
Both Israel and Hamas stand accused of committing war crimes since October 7
By JAMES REYNOLDS

PUBLISHED: 10:29 BST, 19 April 2024 | UPDATED: 18:01 BST, 21 April 2024

The Israeli government called an 'emergency discussion' over concerns the International Criminal Court could be preparing an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders over alleged breaches of international law in Gaza, it has been revealed.

Three ministers and several government legal experts met at the Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday to discuss how they would manage arrest warrants after reportedly receiving information such orders could be issued imminently, according to Israeli Channel 12.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer reportedly met and decided to seek support from international diplomatic circles in an effort to foil possible action against Netanyahu.

Numerous bodies have alleged Israel has breached international law in its retaliatory campaign in Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks.

Israel reportedly fears that arrest warrants would be brought on the basis of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where rights groups and international bodies continue to warn of impending 'man made famine', alleging deliberate restrictions of aid into the Strip.

Israel faces a number of allegations pertaining to breaches of international law over its conduct in Gaza since October 2023.

In February, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights published a damning report calling for accountability for both Israel and various Palestinian militant groups over alleged violations of international law.

These covered the period November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023, but also referenced historical allegations of rights violations.

'For over 56 years, the Occupied Palestinian Territory – the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza – has remained under occupation by Israel, affecting all rights of Palestinians, including the right to self-determination,' the report read.

'The human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory drastically worsened during the reporting period. There was an escalation of the use of lethal force in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and May 2023 also saw an escalation of hostilities in Gaza.'

The British government in December called on Israel to 'take immediate and concrete steps to tackle record high settler violence in the occupied West Bank'.

The UN High Commissioner's report suggested Israel had committed war crimes and violations of international law, including the 'wanton destruction of civilian property', collective punishment, punitive and deliberate sieges, 'deprivation of essential services' such as water and aid, and forced displacement. ...

Yes -
What about the air force pilots who dropped the bombs?

What about the armorers who loaded the bombs?

What about Biden for signing the export order for the bombs?

Should many people be hanged?

There are more. What about the companies and the people who made the bombs; who transported the bombs; the spox who lied for Biden daily?

Then there is Biden himself for approving money and weapons for Israel despite his knowledge that genocide was occurring. Biden's own calls for a ceasefire are self-incriminating.

There could be a decade of prosecutions.

Biden will cheat the hangman as he's so old that he hasn't got long to live.

It's not illegal to make bombs -
it is illegal to drop them on women and children.

Hungary said it would withdraw from the International Criminal Court, dealing another blow to an institution grappling with the fallout from its decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The move comes as Netanyahu arrived in Hungary on Wednesday for a state visit, the first time the Israeli leader has travelled to Europe since the court issued its warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the war in Gaza. The court sent a request Thursday morning to the Hungarian government to arrest Netanyahu, an ICC official said. But Prime Minister Viktor Orban has for months said Hungary wouldn’t comply with the warrant.

Orban has openly defied the court over the Netanyahu warrant, and others in Europe have recently joined him. In February, Frederich Merz, Germany’s likely next chancellor, invited Netanyahu to visit, saying Germany would find a way around the ICC warrant. “I think it is a completely absurd idea that an Israeli prime minister cannot visit the Federal Republic of Germany,” Merz said.

Europe’s wavering support comes on top of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration against Karim Khan, the ICC’s chief prosecutor, for seeking the warrants. The US has said it would target other ICC officials that work on the cases against Netanyahu and Gallant. The State Department is preparing a report due this month that will name them.

The court, based in The Hague, relies on European governments for much of its funding and legitimacy. Other major powers — including the US, Russia, China and India — haven’t ratified the Rome Statute.

The ICC is the heir to the Nuremberg tribunals that prosecuted Nazis after World War II. American military prosecutors who brought the charges in Nuremberg championed the creation of a permanent institution that would try the most heinous violations of international law. The US signed the Rome Statute in 2000 but never ratified it.

The problem is the UN - which (unlike you) actually believes in establishing an international rules-based system - was forced at its inception to adopt machinery (UNSC veto etc) which would rule out establishment of such a system. A classic catch -22.....

Sure - and these days it Woke as - Muslim nations want a ruling - sure - they're victims of past colonialism ..... no problem.....

As long as the UN plays the modern game of sucking up to 'minorities' - or even giving added weight to the views of 'poor little past oppressed nations' - over the rest - it will NEVER have an equitable rules-based system.

As for me and us here in Oz:-

Peasant 1:- “Oo are you then?”

UN Boss:- “I am your Great Leader, and I bring you the United Nations rules-based international law!”

Peasant 1:- “Oo created this International Law then? What's it based on?”

UN Boss (heavenly music):- “The Great Serpent, filled with the power of the seas and the skies and the thunder and lightning in the clouds, came down from Heaven, and using his great body, carved the hills and river courses, and then dying, his mighty ribs created the mountains and his bones the United Nations Supremos to be custodians over the law of every land and gave them a Law to impose over all in those lands which must be surrendered to them or you will be forced to comply - we will have peace or we will go to war to enforce it ….......”

Peasant 2:- “Some failed herpetological experiment is no basis on which to form a valid argument to develop a multi-layered government by changing the Constitution! True government comes from a mandate of the masses, willingly given and fully informed! We're a semi-autonomous, quasi-anarchic egalitarian assemblage of rules-bound free individuals who vote every three years on our elected representatives, who then sit down and natter out the best way forward, and if we disagree with them we can write to them or vote them out next time around, or even refuse to abide by their dictates under the guiding principle that 'an unjust law – (or decision or policy for that matter) thanks, Reg – is no law - (or decision or policy for that matter) – thanks again, Reg - at all'! We don't need no UN Voices in our heads telling us what to do!!”

UN Boss:- “But failure to do so is racist and divisive!”

Peasant 2:- “Oh – now we see the truth about the injustice and fundamental tyranny in the system – we're racist and divisive for just wanting things left alone!”

UN Boss:- “But I am your Great Leader! You must vote for this form of International Law or be branded traitor forever – an enemy of the people and racist to boot! Now stop being a bloody racist White invader and just vote for it!”

Peasant 2:- “Ah - there it is right in front of you – look everyone – this is how the system treats those who dissent! Name-calling and insult! I'll vote NO thanks.”

UN Boss:- (grabs peasant's shirt front) “Look, you bloody white supremacist invading convict derived moron! Just vote YES for what's right and get on with it!” (shakes peasant)

Peasant 2:- “Come on! Look at this everybody!! I'm being oppressed! This is how the system treats you if you say NO.... I'm being oppressed!!”

US sends Israel 2,000-pound bombs that can 'pancake' buildings

Israel has received a shipment of US-made MK-84 bombs after President Donald Trump lifted an export block on the weapons.

The Biden administration stopped shipping the 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, conceding they were causing civilian deaths in Gaza.
