ICC hits back at Israel's threats

The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) says all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials, need to stop immediately. Prosecutor Karim Khan's office put out a statement on social media after much speculation about possible indictments being issued against senior leadership in the Israeli Government over military conduct in Gaza. That speculation, largely from media sourcing and reporting, has seen a flurry of activity including threats of retaliation from countries like the United States. News website Axios reported this week that the ICC was being warned by members of Congress in both the Republican and Democratic Parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials would be met with U.S. retaliation.

They're scared of having their citizens tried by laws other than their own, by a treaty they aren't party to, and by an entity they don't recognize as having any authority. It's the same in the USA. If the ICC arrested US military or elected officials for crimes against humanity, or anything else, the US military would go and take them back using whatever force is necessary. A limp wristed, ineffectual entity like the ICC really doesn't want to get into a conflict with the Israeli or United States military, so don't count on them ever actually doing anything about it. If this continues Israel will draft its own version of the American Service-Members' Protection Act, promising military action against the ICC if they start arresting Israelis.

It would be a nice thing to see stephanie but im sure they will come up with some sort of loophole.i think the fact that israel has a case to answer for plausable genocide and now the icc just shows to the world it has become a rogue state..the world after this will ever look at israel again the same even sporting events they will be shunned.the irish ladies bbasketball team recently refused to shake hands before a match.even tourism to the country will fall.israeli goods will be boyctted.there will be a huge shift against israel.

Netanyahu is just another name in the long list of Israeli ministers and military commanders who should be tried for war crimes - but never will or have.

[@L98fiero]

Technically, that could be said of pretty much every US president as well as quite a few other leaders.

Israel and the U.S. did not sign the Rome Statute. This may force their allies that are signatories of the Roman Statute to execute the arrest when Netanyahu visits those countries, but it won't affect those two non-signatories.

[@hlalakar4156]

@@Jouantiese IKR, They have no means to physically enforce their ruling, especially against the Israeli military. Israel isn't a party to the Rome Statute and doesn't accept the ICCs jurisdiction. If they start arresting Israeli officials or military it would be an act of war, and they don't have any means to defend themselves. Don't be surprised if Israel comes out with their own version of the American Service-Members' Protection Act.

[@hlalakar4156]

The ICC isn't firm and steadfast. They have no military of their own. They rely on the militaries of their member states. That means no nation will try to arrest a head of state unless they are willing to go to war with that state. No nation will arrest Netanyahu unless they are willing to go to war with Israel. How do you think the USA would respond if the ICC arrested POTUS? Israel will do the exact same thing.
