Zionist authorities are concerned about the possibility of the Criminal Court’s action in the Gaza issue
Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism - According to BBC, the authorities of the Zionist regime are more and more worried that the highest criminal court of the United Nations intends to issue a warrant to arrest the country's military and political leaders on suspicion of war crimes.
These reports indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may also be on this list.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been investigating Israel’s actions in the occupied territories in the last three years, as well as the actions of Hamas. This court has the power to accuse and try people for the worst crimes according to international law.
In the past, this court has ordered the arrest of some world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, has described the prospect of the country’s top figures being included in such a list as “an abomination of historic proportions” and has accused the ICC of trying to cripple Israel’s ability to defend itself.
The fact that he has decided to publicly comment on the issue in this way suggests that these scenarios have been seriously discussed behind the scenes.
The Zionist regime is not a member of the ICC and says that the court has no authority over this country. But the court has ruled that since 2015, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza are part of its jurisdiction. This was after the Palestinians ratified the treaty establishing this court, the “Rome Statute”.
So far, the leader of any political system affiliated with the West has not faced the arrest warrant of the ICC. If that happens, Mr. Netanyahu will be the first. Israelis are particularly concerned about the stigma and potential isolation that this ruling brings.
The timeline for issuing restraining orders varies, and sometimes it can take weeks or even months from when a prosecutor requests it to when a judge issues it.
In some cases, the court keeps the details confidential because making them public may reduce the chances of arrest.
Issuing such rulings against Netanyahu, his associates or the commanders of the Zionist regime’s army will have practical consequences. This will affect their ability to travel extensively abroad, as Rome Statute member states are required to hand over people they have been issued with arrest warrants for. However, some of these countries have neglected it in recent years.
