Israeli officials fear potential ICC prosecution over Gaza actions. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned top officials of possible arrest warrants, although the ICC has not confirmed issuing any. What would ICC arrest warrants mean for Israel's war on Gaza - and for international law?

Only if they are a member state of the ICC. unfortunately neither of the two major Western nations (you know who they are) are members. Hence they are neither obligated to follow the ruling nor bring themselves to legal prosecution.

You do realise they can't. Doing so is basically going to war against the USA. Literally USA has laws to siege the Hague if either a member of the USA or an ally is arrested by the ICC. What you think is gonna happen. There are so many things between calling for the arrest of criminals to being able to capture them. Why do you think Putin hasn't been arrested yet despite being an enemy of the USA which you would think the USA would have a hand in making sure happens?

The peaceful pledge 1) Hypocrisy is not by accident but our way of life. 2) We marry other's girls freely but we don't allow our girls to marry others & hence hide them from head to toe with veil. 3) We always persuade & welcome others to join our faith but anyone who leaves our faith to join others is our enemy. 4) We love our country because it fights our enemy otherwise loyalty towards ummah is more important than nation. 5) We can freely insult other faiths like our prophet (Q9:5, Q2:221,Q 5:51 ) but anyone who insults ours deserves to be bheaded. 6) We don't want BJP/RSS to exist but we freely vote for our parties AIMIM, IUML, AIUDF, SDPI, Jamaat e islami party etc. 7) We want more secularism and appeasement when we are in minority but secularism is shirk when we are in majority. 8) We don't want other faiths in Mecca & Medina but we want mosques in Kashi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Jerusalem & Bethlehem. 9) Colonialism is evil but Ottoman and Mughal conquests demonstrates exemplary valour and Indians are lucky to be invaded by Mughals. 10) We have 56 nations which we got by force and deception but we don't accept a Jewish state or a Hindu state though they're much older than our faith. 11) Once a Mandir can become a masjid, but once a masjid always a masjid. Babri shall rise again Insha'Allah. 12) Hindus should not try to settle in Kashmir but Kashmiris can settle anywhere in India. 13) We freely boycott non-halal forever, but if others boycott halal then they're racist and Islamophobe.

@@user-jy1jj3fl7l Are you really comparing the holocaust to what happened in Israel? What I don't understand is how a country the size of New Jersey can get invaded by Hamas on hanggliders and motorcycles. Israel claimed that for 6 hours Hamas was killing people, raping women, putting babies in ovens and then bringing some of them back to Gaza. Where was the IDF for 6 hours while this was happening? Their intelligence has to be terrible, not only because of that attack but because they didn't know that they had an underground tunnel system throughout their entire country. Kind of reminds me of 9/11 and and how that reportedly happened. If it did happen the way they said it did, how come Israel didn't stand with the United States when we were fighting Al Qaeda for 20 years in Afghanistan?

Israel is the size of New Jersey. Where was the IDF for the 6 hours this was happening? How did they not know they had a tunnel system underneath their entire country? It reminds me of 9/11, if you believe how it was reported. However if Israel is such a good ally, how come they didn't help the United States when they were fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan for 20 years? Did Israel send troops, weapons or money to the United States? Nope, they didn't do anything. Just like when Saddam Hussein was launching scud missiles at Israel. Israel didn't respond at all. Israel thinks it's above international law. They refuse to allow weapons inspectors in to look at their nucular program, They continuously are building new settlements in the West Bank and more importantly continue to bomb sovereign countries such as Syria and Lebanon. Israel just bombed Damascus again last night. What would happen if Syria bombed the airport in Jerusalem? It seems Israel will bomb any country that is associated with Iran but won't attack Iran directly. If Iran is the head of the snake and Hamas and Hezbollah wouldn't be able to function without Iran, then why would you not cut off the head of the snake and attack Iran directly?

Unfortunately, Mr. Kersten did not answer the central question: since neither Israel nor the United States recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, what practical effect will issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu, et. al., have? The warrants will not be executed in Israel due to lack of jurisdiction. And the US, where the warrants also cannot be executed for the same reason, can easily, and very likely would, grant the war criminals asylum. Obviously, I would like to see justice done in these matters, including regarding the war crimes Hamas may have committed, but nations can just ignore international law at their whims. Israel, as is well known, has flagrantly violated UN Security Council resolution 242 since 1967, and there have been no practical consequences for that.

@Vorname_Nachnahme I understand, but, not to belabor the point, it's trivially easy for Netanyahu to avoid those countries. He can stay in Israel, or he can hop a plane for New York. We'll harbor him, because we always run interference for Israel, as with our vetoes of the ceasefire resolutions in the UN Security Council. I'm sorry my country does this, but all of our politicians take money from AIPAC, so it's unlikely that policy will change.

@@m1lkb0n3z Yes, Mr. Netanjahu can live like Israel > US > Israel > US and so on and back and forth, but he also has to avoid the airspace of/over these 139 countries because they might force his plane down because of him being an internationally wanted criminal. So it's not that wonderful life of a pensionist it could be if he'd not tried to kill A People. And who says that there might not some unexpected things happening during hopping from allowed A to allowed B making him find itself on the ground of not allowed C? But all this is phantasy, ... i too guess he will never get sacked for having been nice to the Palestinian People, but at least such a warrant would be historically unique and send a strong moral signal and lift the case of the Palestinian People significantly. I mean, look at the proportions: 1pc israeli hostage and the outcries about and the caring for it in the media seems to be more worth than 1.000pcs of rubbled, bombed, dead, starving, homeless, hopeless Palestinians. The latter are basically 10th-class people to the eyes of the world, it doesn't matter if they are there or not ... Oo

@Vorname_Nachnahme I agree that media coverage in English is radically biased in favor of valuing the lives of Israelis over that of Palestinians, which is why I balance it with AJ's reporting. I try to remind my fellow Americans that some of the Palestinians are Christians, mostly Eastern Rite Catholics and Orthodox, but it doesn't seem to matter. Proportionality is one of the principles of _jus in bello_ ,but Israel ignores that moral principle, too. ICC warrants have symbolic meaning, and it's good that the International community is expressing its outrage. Perhaps they will serve to isolate Israel diplomatically, but justice requires these war criminals stand trial, and I see no way to bring that about. A more practical approach may be to apply pressure through boycotts, and divestment.

It is going to be an interesting time for the law. Any israeli diplomat or special visitor to the UK can be issued a special exemption from prosecution, especially any ICC warrant. What remains to be seen is that if a warrant is issued against an individual that is seemingly protected on UK territory, does that not incriminate this country for concealing a wanted felon, aiding and abetting a fugitive from justice. That would notionally mean that any persons deliberately harbouring said felon would themselves be liable for arrest and warrants for them could also be issued against the UK, who would legally be obliged to submit themselves to the custody of the ICC.

The UN needs to move out of the US and should consider removing the US from membership of the UN on the basis that it has taken steps to reduce the credibility of the UN and ICJ. The US can reapply for membership when it provides evidence it has resumed democracy rather than the autocracy that currently applies.

If the ICJ were to issue arrest warrants against individuals in the Israeli army involved in acts of genocide or war crimes, it would do so based on the specific evidence and legal criteria related to those individuals' actions. This would apply regardless of the nationality or support of the individuals involved. In summary, the ICJ's decisions are based on legal principles and evidence, and any issuance of arrest warrants would follow established legal procedures. The involvement or support of any other country, including the United States, Germany and France would be evaluated within this framework.
