Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and former defence minister, as well as Hamas's military commander.
A statement said a pre-trial chamber had rejected Israel’s challenges to the court’s jurisdiction and issued warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
A warrant was also issued for Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli military has said he was killed in an air strike in Gaza in July.
The judges found “reasonable grounds” that the three men bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel and Hamas. Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the allegations.

It’s about time. Bibi thinks he’s above the law. But I am very realistic in these times.

Which countries in the West have the stomach to arrest him and turn him over?

It’s more likely a US Congress would want to arrest ICC judges, if not bar them from entry, before thinking of arresting Bibi and his cohort Gallant.

Well said, my brother. And there is now the real possibility of limited nuclear exchange in the Russia/Ukraine war precipitated by the US giving the green light to Ukraine to use the missiles it supplied. And yesterday we read that Biden has also green lighted the use of land mines. We have a mentally impaired man making decisions in Washington.
What's the expression in GT? When cow ah goh slaughter house he nah k if he shit pon himself.

All ICC signatories are obliged to arrest him within their jurisdiction. It would be amusing if his plane, say, en route to America, had to land at a European airport due to mechanical problems. It's doubtful his security detail would hand him over willingly, so would the plane be stormed by special forces?

Nothing will come of this, remember the fat defense minister, maybe his name was Ariel Sharon, he had a similar warrant.

Absolutely. This ICC is a mouth with gums only. Neither the USA nor Israel is signatory to the court.
And pity the country that even thinks of arresting Bibi. Israel being the 51st State of US, is untouchable
and is the tail that wags the dog,America.
There will come a day/time of reckoning for these Two,but probably not in our lifetime.

We need to conduct a citizen arrest whenever Bibi is in the US and hand him over to the ICC, they should also add Biden to the list.

Will love that. Watch how they- FOX, MSNBC and CNN. The NYT WAPO and others now try to discredit the court, and attack the prosecutors.

The world has spoken.
