US President Joe Biden has described the war crime prosecutor’s attempt to issue arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders as outrageous. He rejected the demand for the arrest of Netanyahu and Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Galant, saying that whatever the prosecutor may mean, there is no similarity between Israel and Hamas. We always stand with Israel against any threat to its security.

War crimes prosecutor Karim Khan at the International Crime Court (ICC) has accused Netanyahu, Galant and three Hamas leaders Yehia Sinwar, Mohammad Deif and Ismail Haniyeh of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel. A three-judge committee has to decide on Khan’s allegations. This committee will decide whether to issue arrest warrants against the leaders or not. Apart from this, whether the case should be allowed to proceed or not.

‘Responsible for crimes against humanity’

Khan said on Monday that he is requesting arrest warrants for Israel and Hamas leaders, including Netanyahu, in connection with their acts during the 7-month war. The prosecutor said that he believes that these leaders, including Netanyahu, are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Netanyahu also condemned the allegations

On the other hand, the Israeli PM and other leaders have described this effort of the War Crimes Prosecutor as outrageous and anti-Semitic. After this, now the US President, supporting the leaders, condemned the prosecutor and supported Israel’s right to defend itself against the attack.

What can happen next?

The first thing is that the committee of judges has to decide on the allegations. It may take months or two for the decision. Apart from this, Israel is not a member of the ICC, so there is no danger to PM Netanyahu and Hamas leaders at the moment. It is certain that after the arrest warrant is issued, it may become difficult for these leaders to travel abroad. This is because the countries they visit may have to obey the court orders.
