The International Criminal Court, based in The Hague, Netherlands, on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and using starvation as a weapon against Palestinians.
This is the first time that the Hague Tribunal has ordered the arrest of two senior Israeli officials and officials of one of America’s closest allies.
Even if America refuses to implement the verdict under the pretext of not recognizing the court, the 124 countries that recognize the court are obliged to arrest the prime minister and former war minister of the Zionist regime.
