#Norway's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Espen Barth Eide, stated that Norway is now obligated to arrest #Netanyahu if he visits the country after the International Criminal Court issues a decision for his arrest for war crimes in Gaza.
This marks the first country to announce its intention to arrest Netanyahu amid global reluctance following #US threats.
RW politicians like #MAGAMike, side with Netanyahu, disregard his war crimes & insufficient aid going into Gaza:
Johnson threatens ICC sanctions vote over Netanyahu arrest warrant application.
Rep Roy has introduced a bill that would sanction ICC officials who investigate U.S. citizens or allies. It's supported by nearly two dozen other Republicans, including Rep Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference.
“Since February, the Israeli government has declared more than 1,097 hectares [4.2 sq mi] ‘state territory,’ which makes it easier to build or expand Jewish settlements. The figure already makes 2024 a record year over the past three decades.”
Oppressive regimes control & selectively remove media coverage, SM..., that keep them accountable. Netanyahu may be covering up more war crimes:
Israeli officials seize AP EQP & take down live shot of northern Gaza, citing new media law. The QA satellite channel is among 1000s of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP & other news orgs. The AP denounced the move.
"Israel's obstruction of aid: The UN "has suspended food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah due to lack of supplies and insecurity. It also said no aid trucks entered via a pier set up by the U.S. for sea deliveries for the past two days."
🧵Ich halte den Haftbefehl gegen Netanjahu und die Spitze der Hamas in vielen Punkten für problematisch.
Während Netanjahu in einem demokratischen Prozess gewählt wurde, hat sich die Hamas 2007 im Gaza an die Macht geputscht.
Während die Hamas am 7. Oktober Israel überfiel, 1200 Menschen ermordete, 200 verschleppte und in ihrer Agenda klar formuliert, den Staat Israel auslöschen zu wollen. Reagierte die israelische Armee damit die Hamas zu schwächen bzw. Zu zerstören. Nicht nicht Gaza. (1)
Ob jemand demokratisch gewählt ist oder nicht darf keine Rolle spielen. Nach der Farce von einer Präsidentschaftswahl in #Russland wird wohl kaum jemand im Westen die Legitimität von #Putin|s Wahl anerkennen. Dennoch passieren auf seine Verantwortung hin fortwährend weitere #Kriegsverbrechen in der #Ukraine...
...#Netanyahu dürfte damit sogar deutlich besser positioniert sein als irgendwelche Gefolgsleute von Terrororganisationen.
Es ist bereits so viel Blut geflossen. Eine Aussöhnung der derzeitigen Bewohner im Nahen Osten kann es nur irgendwann geben, wenn die Hintergründe auch juristisch aufgearbeitet sind.
Ich halte es i.Ü. für unwahrscheinlich, dass #Bibi in 2025 nicht hinter Schwedischen, äh, israelischen Hardinen sitzt.--Jedoch für Rechtsbrüche in Israel.
The lead prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced that he is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin #Netanyahu and Yahya #Sinwar, along with senior figures of their respective regimes, for the commission of #WarCrimes and #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
Amidst the predictable performative outrage from the US political elite, one fact is barely reported upon: the US is amongst a handful of nations that does not recognise the #ICC, and has on its books a 2002 law (colloquially dubbed 'the Hague Invasion Act') threatening war upon the #Netherlands (!) should any US citizen (or the citizen of any US ally) be brought for trial before the ICC.
Given the fact that the #US routinely fails to follow its own laws, let alone #InternationalLaw, when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity, the chances of an actual US invasion of the European lowlands is scant. Nonetheless, the rogue nature of #USexceptionalism is the always the elephant in the room when it comes to all discussions of accountability for the most egregious crimes of #geopolitics.
#POTUS#Biden said #Israel’s #military assault in #Gaza after the #Hamas#Oct7 attacks “is not genocide.” “We reject that,” he said, telling an audience of #Jewish ldrs & activists Americans “stand with Israel.”
It's not going to happen, but it's a step towards the right direction.
Judging by the way #ICC charged #Hamas, every ranking military serving in Gaza to be charged with #WarCrimes, just like they did with those in #Bosnia and #Rwandan.
But sadly, just #Netanyahu and #Gantz were those they could dare charging.
🇫🇷 "France supports the International Criminal Court, its independence and the fight against impunity in every situation."
— Ministry of Foreign Affairs, France
What has #Biden done that's worse than what #Trump did? I'll start. He went out of his way to bypass #Congress to give arms and money to a country that was clearly committing war crimes.
