Israel learned about the possible ICC arrest warrants just as Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan went on CNN to announce them, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday as he panned the move.
“There are deeply troubling process questions,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an unusual public statement against the court’s targeting of both Hamas and Israeli leaders.
The bodies of Shani Louk, Amit Buskila, Itzik Gelenter, and Ron Binyamin were found in a tunnel in Jabalya in northern Gaza last weekend, the IDF revealed on Monday.
The IDF succeeded in finding the bodies after months of intelligence work by the Shin Bet and the Prisoners and Missing Persons Headquarters.
For several months now, there has been a heated debate between the US and Israel about whether it would take four weeks (Israel’s view) or four months (the US’s view) to evacuate the Palestinian civilians taking refuge in Rafah so that the IDF could operate there – an estimated 1.2 to 1.4 million people.
Another heated debate was regarding whether that sheer volume of civilians in such a tiny area could be moved without a mass loss of civilian life; Israel wagered “yes,” and the US said “no.”
An immense majority of 106 out of 120 members of Knesset from the coalition and opposition signed a statement on Monday condemning the announcement by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan that he intends to request arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of crimes against humanity for Israel’s conduct in the Gaza war.
Hostage family members took part in various Knesset committees ahead of the opening of the parliament's summer session on Monday under the banner "You returned from recess, the hostages haven't returned yet," according to The Hostage and Missing Family Forum.
Ella Ben Ami, daughter of hostage Ohad Ben Ami said in one of the committees, "My mother, who returned from captivity after 54 days, does not know herself whether she is a widow or not, and the biggest fear is that I will miss the opportunity to save my father and that my mother will have to live both the shocking experience of a former hostage and be a widow without a husband to help her and strengthen her.
The Israeli government’s response to the economic impacts of the Israel-Hamas war has not been appropriate or sufficient, former Bank of Israel governor Karnit Flug told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
The measures proposed, some of which have passed in the Knesset, while others have been delayed or are planned for the future, are not enough to tackle the situation Israel currently finds itself in, Flug, who serves as the vice president of research at the Israel Democracy Institute, said.
From 2009 until 2021, Israel succeeded at preventing the International Criminal Court from opening a full war crimes probe against it, holding it at bay with a preliminary review of jurisdictional issues.
From June 2021 until October 2023, Israel also held ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan at bay, who barely talked about Israel and the Palestinians for his first two-and-a-half years, and absent the current war, many believe that Khan would have given Jerusalem a pass both on the 2014 Gaza conflict, and maybe even on the settlement enterprise.
The International Criminal Court intends to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of crimes against humanity for Israel’s conduct in the Gaza war, its Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan announced Monday, on the 227th day of the Gaza war.
Senior Israeli officials responded to ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan's announcement on Monday that he intends to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of crimes against humanity for Israel’s conduct in the Gaza war, alongside warrants for Hamas leaders Ismail Haniye, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohamed Def.
