Arrest warrant against Netanyah, US pressure The Hague tribunal to prevent

According to reports on several Israeli media, the United States is making recent diplomatic efforts to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Benjamin Netanyah) and other Israeli officials.

On the Walla news page, analyst Ben Caspian writes that Netanyahu is “under unusual stress” for the possibility of an arrest warrant against him and other Israelis from the tribunal in The Hague, which would be a major deterioration in Israel's international status. Netanyahu through constant calls with Beden is demanding a continuous “assignment” to prevent an arrest warrant.

Media analyst Haaretz, Amos Harel, writes that the Israeli government is working to avoid arrest warrants allegedly suggesting that ICC prosecutor (the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague), Karim Khan, could issue orders this week for the arrest of Netanyya, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff, Herzeri Halev.

According to analyst Harel “The US, which, like Israel, is not among the 124 countries that signed the Rome Constitution of the International Criminal Court, is already committed to trying to block arrest warrants”. Netanyya's latest public statement about the war said future decisions by the ICC could create a dangerous “precedent”.

We will never stop defending ourselves. While the court's decisions at The Hague will not influence Israel's actions, they would be a dangerous precedent threatening soldiers and officials of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and aggression”, he said. /rtsh.al/
