The ICC has been attacked for daring to be an impartial court, how dare it prosecute a western ally like Israel!
Right, so news that has echoed around the world now is that the International Criminal Court, the ICC have finally, after much preamble and apparent delay, now submitted applications for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence minister Yoav Gallant, and three key members of Hamas as well, Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, better known as Dief, the Commander in Chief of Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades and Ismail Haniyeh, the Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau.
There’s no cogent argument that the ICC here is acting in the interests of one side or the other, despite claims to the contrary, the threats the ICC despite showing even handedness and even the claims that it isn’t supposed to be a proper court, but merely a western device there to promote their interests and use against Africa and thugs like Putin. The ICC has more work to do beyond Hamas and Israel, but this move by the ICC is far, far cleverer than at first glance it might seem, and I have to take my hat off to the Chief Prosecutor, for showing some real guts and playing the game he’s going to have to in order for any justice to be seen.
Right, so first off, having made several videos questioning ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, for what has seemed like dragging his heels, given how quickly we’ve seen the ICC’s sister organisation at the Hague, the ICJ, leap into action on the matter of Israel and Gaza, I feel the need to acknowledge that actually, he’s owed an apology. He’s played an absolute blinder here, has got pro Israel politicians screaming up the walls and Netanyahu doing his typical turn of basically just calling the ICC antisemitic, but for every berk slamming his decision to apply for arrest warrants for both Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the fact he’s also applied for arrest warrants for three key Hamas operatives as well, completely undermines any argument, that the ICC is taking sides. It simply isn’t. On top of that, part of what has taken so long to get where we are now, is that Khan knew he’d have to have every T crossed and I dotted on the evidence gathered, in triplicate probably, so as to leave no room for doubt at all, that there was a case here to answer and in that light had assembled a team of leading human rights lawyers to work on the case as well, including as it happens Amal Clooney, someone who has come in for a bit of flak due to her silence on the matter of Israel and Gaza, but of course doing what she’d been doing, she clearly couldn’t, so a lesson there for the celeb blocking people, that silence isn’t always complicity.
In a lengthy statement, which I’m not going to read, the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, has outlined the remit of his investigation, which is only from the events of October 7th onwards and the charges he plans to bring against the aforementioned individuals.
