.Israel’s government is involved that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague will definitely release detention warrants against senior Israeli authorities in relation to the war in Gaza. Those on trial might consist of Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, members of his cabinet and generals in the Israel Protection Forces. The ICC has not said it is taking into consideration such a move.
Yet Mr Netanyahu really felt the risk serious sufficient to condition on April 30th that any type of warrant “would be an indignation of historical percentages”. The ICC’s chief district attorney, Karim Khan, notified that threats to “strike back” against the court could undermine its own impartiality. On what grounds will the ICC trouble such warrants, and what will be actually the outcomes?
