Biden Points planet Court Investigation Of Israel As Netanyahu Arrest Warrant Looms

The Biden administration is reportedly in the midst of a Diplomatic full court press in efforts to prevent the global Criminal Court (ICC) from Issue arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC is besides expected to issue warrants for defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel defence Forces chief of staff Herzi Halevi, in connection with alleged large-scale human rights abuses related to the war in Gaza.

Axios reports Monday that the Israeli government is increasing “increasingly agreed” over the possible action, while Walla news has written that Netanyahu is ‘under universal stress’ over what will be a mostly symbolic, albeit inactive profoundly embarrassing reputational black eye for his government at a minute he's facing immense home force at home to bring back the hosts.

The Israeli leader has personally asked president Biden to intervene. Axios details of the call: “The officials said Netanyahu expressed his performance to Biden in a telephone call on Sunday, where the 2 leaders besides discussed hostage negotiations, Israel’s defence against Iran’s missionary attack, and the request to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to a White home readout.”

The White home has issued a fresh message Monday stressing that the United States “does not support” the ongoing ICC investment into Israel war crime.

The ICC’s investment actually goes all the way back to the 2014 Israel-Hamas war. But besides following Oct.7 and Israel's invasion of Gaza, South Africa brought a fresh war crime case – which has gained the support of countries like Turkey, but specifically a number of countries of the Global South.

The Hague-based court in March 2023 issued an object for Russian president Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine war, so this means that ironically Netanyahu could shortly be a ‘wanted’ man right along Putin.

On Friday Netanyahu defiantly said, “We will never halt defending ourselves. Whereas decisions of the court in the Hague will not affect Israel’s actions, they would be a dangerous precedent for the soldiers and officials of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and aggression,” in a message on X.

Israel is now informing that an ICC warrant could blow up a hostage deal Being mediated by Egypt and Qatar:

If the global Criminal Court does issue arrest wars for Israel leaders, proceed the official, it will lead to “a wave of antisemitism around the world” that could blow up a powerful hostage deal. This is not an Israel Threat to walk distant from talks in the case of an ICC decision, exploits the official, but reflects Israel’s belief that global force on Israel will remove force on Hamas to make compromises essential for a deal.

Reacting to the US State Department study that found 5 IDF units guidance of “gross human rights violations,” the authoritative says that Jerusalem “categoryally rejects any attributes to harp the IDF and Israel’s right to defend itself.”

In January, the ICC issued an interim rulining which stood that South Africa’s case has legal merit and can be obtained while orderingIsrael is simply a take all means available to prevent acts of Genocide against Palestines in the Gaza Strip.

Ultimately the ICC has no effection power on its own, but can call on associate states to arrest leaders on its blacklist if they always travel through their territories. Putin back in August cancelled an in-person journey to South Africa for a BRICS summary precisely to avoid a potent embarrassing situation at a minute Pretoria was being pressed to act.
