According to a report by Axios News Network on May 2, the International Criminal Court will issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant and other senior Israeli officials.
The ICC may issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu
The cause of the matter
Since October 7 last year, Hamas launched the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation against Israel, and when Israel was defenseless, Hamas armed forces staged trapeze. Hamas burst into Israel, killing more than 1,000 people and taking more than 200 hostages on the spot. Then some people will say that Hamas is saying this because it has been oppressed by Israel for a long time, but you have to see what causes it. Even in the five Middle East wars, Arab countries, Israel, and Hamas were the first to provoke, but they were beaten by Israel.
The reduction of the Palestinian territories is not entirely caused by Israel, but is largely due to its own causes
It is not who is weak and who is reasonable, but to look at it objectively
It is not that whoever is weak is justified, but the strong is provoked, and the counterattack becomes justified for the weak. Hamas armed more than 1,500 people have broken into Israel, and they don't know that Israel will retaliate? Israel's non-retaliation is not in their temper, and it is not in their temper to let the Israeli government account for the people of Israel.
And the conditions in Gaza are so complex that casualties are inevitable. And Hamas has even placed strongholds under populous schools and hospitals to lure the Israeli army to attack, and if Israel does not bomb these strongholds, it will cause a large number of casualties among the Israeli army.
Hamas officials claim that civilian casualties in Gaza are the responsibility of Israel and the United Nations
In an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera, Hamas officials even openly stated that the civilian casualties in Gaza are the responsibility of Israel and the United Nations, and that they have nothing to do with it. They only focus on counting the number of casualties, taking videos and uploading them to the Internet. There is even a Palestinian woman holding a fake doll crying bitterly there, complaining about Israeli atrocities and revealing the video, I didn't expect that the post-processing was not done well, and the naked film came out directly, and I really saw that it was a fake.
Israel is the victim of the conflict in Gaza
Israel is a total victim of this military operation in Gaza, the economic downturn is severe, and Gaza has the assistance of the international community, Israel does not. Without this action, the people of Israel would still be living in peace, going to work where they deserve to work, and going to school where they deserve to go. The United Nations and other international organizations have become accomplices of Hamas, intentionally or unintentionally, and the reason why Israel has not been able to completely guarantee the security of the country for decades is precisely because Hamas and other organizations are protected by the international community. If Hamas encounters people like Genghis Khan, Putin, etc., it is estimated that they will not dare to come out, you see how they retaliate.
Many countries have severed diplomatic relations with Israel
At present, the international community has not given Israel objective treatment for the sake of so-called political correctness. Bolivar, Colombia, Turkey and other countries have severed diplomatic relations with Israel, and Colombia has had a good relationship with Israel before, and most of Colombia's weapons and equipment are bought from Israel. Even the United States, which is the most pro-Israel country, has to impose sanctions on Israel because of its domestic pro-Palestinian movement and international pressure.
In the United States, there was an anti-war movement in support of Palestine
Israel is now not satisfied with the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court
The reason why Israel's war of public opinion has not been fought well is that it has not followed the corresponding procedures, and Israel should have left the issue of the "Al-Aqsa flood" operation on October 7 to the United Nations and let the United Nations authorize it, instead of doing it itself. This has led to Israel's current passivity in public opinion. Israel is far from the ICC's arrest warrant, and two Israeli officials say the Palestinian National Authority is pressuring the ICC prosecutor behind the scenes.
Israel's grip on the Palestinian National Authority is pressuring the criminal court, and Israel's assertive stance could bring down the Palestinian National Authority
The Israeli government has told Biden that once the arrest warrant is issued, Israel will hold the Palestinian National Authority responsible for the matter and take tough retaliatory actions that could bring down the Palestinian National Authority. A specific retaliatory action could be the freezing of tax revenues collected by Israel for the Palestinian National Authority, without which the Palestinian National Authority would go bankrupt.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also worried about a possible arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court. Earlier, Netanyahu kept calling Biden, hoping that Biden would come forward to stop it.
The White House said that the United States "does not support" the ICC's coordination of the Gaza conflict, and that the United States believes that the ICC does not have the authority to issue arrest warrants. Netanyahu said that no organization will waver in Israel's determination to achieve all the goals of its military operations, and this determination has not changed since last October.
