.Israel’s federal government is worried that the International Offender Court Of Law (ICC) in The Hague will certainly release apprehension warrants against elderly Israeli representatives in connection with the battle in Gaza. Those under suspicion could possibly include Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, participants of his cabinet and also generals in the Israel Protection Forces. The ICC has certainly not mentioned it is thinking about such a move.
Yet Mr Netanyahu really felt the threat serious enough to state on April 30th that any kind of warrant “would be a shock of historical percentages”. The ICC’s principal prosecutor, Karim Khan, warned that risks to “strike back” against the court could possibly undermine its own impartiality. On what reasons will the ICC concern such warrants, as well as what would be the effects?
