The announcement that the #ICC prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav #Gallant as well as #Hamas leaders Yahya #Sinwar and Ismail #Haniyeh is a signal to Israel that the international community will not accept the perpetration of war crimes in response to war crimes, says Yossi Mekelberg, Associate Fellow, MENA Programme at Chatham House. He spoke to France24's Mark Owen #Gaza#Israel
#Biden and #Netanyahu's attempt to characterise the #ICC as likening #Israel to #Hamas is a despicable lie, worthy of the worst tyrants.
The ICC is judging Netanyahu and Hamas leaders individually against their actions and the law. That's it, and they should all have their innocence or guilt tested in court, just like everybody else and not be spinning lies to hide from that.

The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor requested arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and for the leaders of Hamas.
While the request must be approved by the I.C.C.’s judges, the announcement is a blow to Mr. Netanyahu and will likely fuel international criticism of Israel’s war strategy in Gaza. #Gaza#Israel#Palestine#FromTheRiverToTheSea#MiddleEast
