TRT World - ICC rejects Israel's appeal bid over arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant

Court says Israel’s request to appeal warrants against its leaders over Gaza war is "not an appealable issue," while jurisdiction challenge remains under review.

The International Criminal Court has rejected Israel’s bid to appeal against arrest warrants for its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over the Gaza genocide.

In a ruling that made headlines worldwide, the ICC in November found “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore “criminal responsibility” for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

The warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant sparked outrage in Israel and in the United States, which later imposed sanctions on senior ICC officials.

    It’s almost as if they should still pay for the consequences of their war crimes

    Haha, what was his defense? Your Honour, [some lie] followed by [finger-pointing]? Or plain old anti-semitic card? I’d sentence them to all the suffereing they imposed on innnocents (in non-lethal doses)

      Their defense is “They even sent Greta with a squad of Terminators - our men were in terrible danger and afraid for their lives”
