Just as crass a Netanyahu, et al, are Zionists!

Just the request for arrest warrants in itself could
limit any travel plans for Netanyahu and Gallant.
All 124 member states are required to arrest wanted
fugitives by the ICC.

While Israel is not a member state of the ICC and
rejects its jurisdiction the Court admitted the
Palestinian Territories in 2015 and Khan says his
office has jurisdiction over the events since
October 7th in Israel and the Gaza Strip.

As for Putin?

The ICC warrant has complicated Putin's position by
increasing elites unhappiness with him (the war crimes
accusation complicates his ability to travel freely
abroad) and as a result by heightening his suspicion
of the people around him. His paranoia will only worsen.

So we've gone from "Is this a way to force both sides of this conflict to come to the table for peace negotiations ?"

to...oh it might complicate their travel plans.

My point made.

But it is a shame. Afghanistan is a signatory. I guess Bibi won't be going there any time soon....and Kabul is so nice this time of the year.

"Just as crass a[s saying] Netanyahu, et al, are Zionists!"
Oh so an equivalence then. So, since you think Bibi is hopelessly compromised, logically you must also agree Khan is likewise.

While dozens of countries have recognized a
Palestinian State none of the major Western
powers have done so. Now 3 countries have.
AP News tells us that the decision from Norway,
Ireland, and Spain may generate momentum.

This marks a significant accomplishment for the
Palestinians. It confers international legitimacy
on their struggle amid international outrage
over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Israel's bombardment is rendering Gaza uninhabitable.
People in Gaza face relentless bombardment, death,
and destruction on an unprecedented scale.

"While Israel is not a member state of the ICC" just as Al Capone was not a member of the Police Benevolent Society! Just as the war criminal Biden is not sure how high America should hang Julian Assange for exposing the truth about their war crimes, he's not sure how big a party he should throw for his fellow war criminal that Zionist Netanyah.

When Karim Khan won the 9-year term as a Prosecutor
for the ICC he was the favoured candidate of both
the United States and Israel for his current position.

He has under his belt three decades of experience as
an international criminal law and human rights lawyer.

Graduating from King's College London, with a Bachelor
of Laws, he went on to gain significant experience as
a prosecutor, victim's counsel, and defense lawyer.

Most recently he served as an Assistant Sec-General
of the UN and was a special adviser and head of the
UN's Investigative team to promote accountability
for crimes committed in Iraq 2018-2021.
