Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X. Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defense.
The threat to seize the soldiers and officials of the Middle East’s only democracy and the world’s only Jewish state is outrageous. We will not bow to it (and Israel will keep on killing Palestinians until the problem is resolved).
While the ICC will not affect Israel’s actions, it would set a dangerous precedent that threatens the soldiers and officials of all democracies fighting savage terrorism and wanton aggression, globally echoing the outrageous issue.
Netanyahu’s statement comes in light of Israeli fears of the legal repercussions that may result from the cases being considered by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israel.
These may lead to the issuance of international arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials, including the prime minister himself, due to the war on Gaza.
According to Israel’s Channel 12: The information and messages that Tel Aviv received recently indicate that the possibility of arrest warrants being issued or attempts to push towards this step have increased dramatically.
The report revealed that Netanyahu’s office held deliberations with the participation of senior officials and legal and judicial experts to discuss confronting these risks.
The report noted Israeli predictions that there have been measures to push for the issuance of international arrest warrants against Israeli officials by the ICC in The Hague, starting at the end of April, 2024.
The deliberations in Netanyahu’s office discussed the issue of bringing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. This comes against the backdrop of accusations against Israel of violating international law, the Geneva Convention.
Israel is violating the Swiss laws of war as part of its devastating war it has been waging since 7 October, 2023 against the besieged Gaza Strip, causing catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
The report also mentioned that a session was recently held in Netanyahu’s office, attended by Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, Minister of Justice Yariv Levin and Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz, with the participation of senior legal professionals in the Ministry of National Security, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary.
The meeting concluded the need to take practical steps and immediate measures, as well as reach out to the court and international bodies with influence, in an attempt to prevent the issuance of the arrest warrants.

Add Joe Biden, Antony Blinkin. Members of the U.S. Congress….who have sold out to AIPAC.
We in the U.S. will not miss them.
….you should not dismiss the hefty support provided in that genocidal war by the Europeans. first and foremost the British and the Germans, renowned champions of the grim criminal double standard policies.
A large chunk of the so-called Western world should be indicted for all the crimes carried out in what we call today the Global South.
I did mention the UK in my post as Westminster has refused to condemn Israel.
Yes Colonialism by the European countries destroyed many African countries and India but modern Colonialism in South America is down to the USA propping up Nazi dictators who massacred their own poor citizens and indigenous populations for the USA,s financial benefit -now they are fighting back and the US doesn’t like it.
Hypocrisy is standard practice now as are lies and propaganda from most Western countries and they go to great length to censor the truth.
Indeed you mentioned UK indeed, my apologies. We are on the same frequency all together. Never give up hope for intervention and/or reinvention of global institutional misguiding entities.
Thank you OT -on the subject of never giving up hope I don’t but being a down to earth practical person I know that the USA and UK have refused to give up hegemony of the world or even trading on equal terms with China as the Chinese Foreign minister asked for but got rebutted.
We will only know the answer as to whether its a bluff if WW3 doesn’t start– 90 seconds on the Doomsday Clock.
