What would ICC arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu mean for Israel? | Inside Story
Israel's Prime Minister says nobody will stop its military actions - not even the International Criminal Court.
The ICC is investigating the country's operations in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank - and could issue warrants for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders.
He says such a move would be outrageous - and set a dangerous precedent.
And the foreign minister insists the country won't be deterred and will continue to fight.
The court's Prosecutor says anyone who breaks the law will be held accountable.
But Israel is not part of the ICC, and does not recognise its jurisdiction.

Stop genocide in Gaza 😢
No way should Netanyahu enjoy freedom of movement on this planet after what he's done. Actions have consequences.
Its not his country .! Its stolen lands .....belonging to palestine state and always .!
lock him up stop killing little children!
Hamas knows all about that.
@Canvashed Stop being an apologist for a war criminal. We know he's guilty
You can't divide devil and santan behaviour against innocent people.
like they did to Putin when he... oh wait
@@CanvashedYour profile pic makes sense Bird brain 😂
What is taking the ICC so long to issue warrants for Netanyahu arrest and so many other war criminals in Israel and what about the governments sending them arms and money? They are all complicit in the Genocide in Gaza. USA, UK and Germany have no shame. Sickening.
ICC Threatening to Issue Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu and Biden and everyone contributed soon one at a time: 50,000 dead, displaced and injured, incalculable suffering; Mosques, churches and others, the justice of the LORD is also coming for them, their families and the People of Israel, and not all evil and unjust corruption and all those who contributed to the unjust hypocrasy, wait, wait, here comes the thunder
Can you say Karim Khan? He needs to be replaced as ICC's chief prosecutor.
WTF, they brought up charges against PUTIN ASAP.
@@DeannThomas-le2ut Russia is an enemy of the US, Israel is not. Lots of pressure on Khan from Biden & Co., I expect.
Arrest this war criminal
Even if they issue a warrant, they won't go to Israel and get him.
Who will arrest him
@@mfundomkhonta7500ICC
not only him ... every political individual world wide supporting this genocide with weapons, financial etc.
ICC should bring charges against big Tech for the AI use for Genocide
you mean all conservatives been a problem since 1948 tech is a scape goat for zionazis
Prove it and big tech isnt just a company its multiple companies that make up a big portion of the tech economy what you are calling for is an attack on the entire industry because the alleged actions of few sounds like ur just being manipulated to attack us economy from inside bozo not helping anything or anyone
Good point. There has to be set a prescedent that any use of AI for genocidal (or malicious) purpose will be seen as a crime and prosecuted to the fullest extend. Will it happen? Probably not.
@@sforza209 wff are you talking about? are you denying AI has been used for targeting purposes against civilians?
@@sforza209 Really, when " La vend er " and "Whe re 's Dad dy ? " are used not to take out individuals but specifically to wait until individuals get home so they destroy whole extended families.
Lock him up!
Free all prisoners under Isreal immediately and free Palestine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
FREE FREE FREE PALESTINE!
Why is the ICC taking so long to issue the warrants?
The US is trying to block the issuing of the warrants, based on reports of I've listened to.
jokers they have their own time
They have to gather and confirm evidence. They aren't going to charge him with genocide. It'll be from blocking aid
When Isreal tells America to jump America ask how high
🚨Free America from Israel 🚨
😂😂😂😂
Free Palestine from Hamas
@@freexonmedia As Satan-yahu put it: "all Palestinians are Hamas" and this has formed his basis of genocide in Gaza, killing everyone including defenceless infants, men and women. So, what Hamas should free Palestine?
Yes
Ever Palestinian person need to be free from Israelis occbabion
It should not be Netanyahu alone
the real criminals never end up in jail somehow. ICC is just a paper tiger, they can't do anything. they too support israel nato, eu, usa officials they are bought.
Name and shame... RISHI SUNAK

That animal and his members must go to Jail otherwise all the countries will withdraw from ICC agreement !
Credibility is important.
Do not insult animals. He is a monster!
sweet.. dont think anyone cares.. the world order stays the same.. you f around, you find out..
Go to jail for trying to get his citizen hostages back? Ok.
@@Thoughtfluxso do you think war started in Oct 7 ? , Do you forget the repeated killings by Israeli settlers on the West bank? Do you really think Nethanyahu cares about hostages then why he bombed the place where hostages were kept? Why did he kill Israeli hostages holding white flag? Do you dare talk about Palestine hostages that were taken into cells without prosecution before Oct7 ? Do you dare show and acknowledge the history of violence by Israel for the past 70 years? Do you think suppressing a community for the past 70 years, kicking out from their homes by settlers, kidnapping & raping their family members in cell during all these years would always create resistance groups and you should wake up and read all the Nethanyahu statement that he funded Hamas and was claiming that he sabotage the 2 stats deal with sheer arrogance? Do you only believe in Israel propaganda of rape victimes and Beheaded babies which was proven wrong by independent journalist? How many independent journalists did Israel kill? Is there any precedence of bombing hospitals and cutting off electricity baby ward leaving all young born babies to suffocate and die? Will you talk about 40k plus civilian killed during the last few months? I can go on and on, will always talk about fact, I'll not defend Hamas but I'll also call a massive killing and collective punishment as Genocide.
The reason Israel is not member of ICC says it all.
yeah because they were and want to commit crimes with no consecuences.
And the US. Says a lot for their brand of "democracy".
@@MyLinda1983 That’s exactly the reason why Nutyahoo is to be put in prison for the rest of his life. He’s got plenty of blood on his hands to last the rest of his lifetime.
it's like planned long time ago....
@@Mslindyrose there's no justice at all😢
An occupier has no right to self defence. That strikes Mr. Netanyahoo statement down.
Right on!
So in America should us black people unalive 1200 people… r word women and kidnap 300 people?
Yet the Western government say nothing inorder to appeased Satanyahu, as he probably has so much dirt on all of them!
nope, might is what makes right. you're weaker you lose.
@@covfefe1787yeah when I see an abusive husband beating his wife I think "wow this strong man is so right" You are sick in the head please find help
Stop the GENOCIDE! Stop! Stop!
Regardless ofvthe decisions of the ICC, the world has changed and israel and the USA and UK and their allies have lost the respect and credibility of the people world.
Com certeza, depois desse genocídio em Gaza, perdeu- se totalmente o respeito!
*Netanyahu must in ICJ for jail 😂*
Gideon Levy is right, it is not Netanyahu alone
send Benjamin Mileikowsky to Spandau prison for war crimes.
Yes, Benzion Mileikowsky and Co should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
@@tinaforbes1059 That is is real name and he did not was born in "Israel" either.
@@akhnatenra6603 Yes, just like the majority of them who lives there. It's their 2nd / 3rd home states .
Gideon Levy has massive balls of steel saying this in Israel
He has to have 24hs security because of it. So yes, incredibly brave this man.
Netanyahu your days are numbered
Insha Allah
So are Biden's but for different reasons. I have watched his health and mental clarity declining quickly before our eyes. I've worked with patients suffering from different stages of dementia. You can see it in how they walk, talk, regression to the thinking they had as children and in their eyes. There is an emptiness within them, the spark is missing or greatly diminished. Their is little or no engagement with what is going on around them as they look inward struggling to make sense of what is no longer easy to process for them anymore. Yes they can read and even complete tasks, walk around or wander. It's truly a sad statement when it is said of them, the lights are on but nobody is home. He wouldn't be the first American president whose true physical or mental condition was hidden from the American public, even lied about. I just hope he will be the last. On the other hand, trump is just a deranged man, always has been. He's so unfit for office in so many ways, not just because he's a career criminal, his mental disorders are dangerous for anyone and everyone around him. A true Narcissistic personality disorder of the worst manifestations going on there with him.
Hope so Bidens too
I don't think they'll turn him into the icc but I think this warrant will create room for Isreal to arrest him on other charges the icc knows this warrant will motivate them to act in their own interests
Quero viver para vê isso, Netanyahu e Putin pagar por seus crimes!
This is just the beginning, and the least of the charges that they will have against him, the idf, the knesset, and their staffs
You're wasting your time
@@godwinejiofor9973you’re genocide supporters
We may waste time but we will also not stop
Why has it taken so long for them to investigate ? when it was so quick to issue the warrant to Putin?
That could have happened before the 7th of October 😮😮
Because America is supporting him.
Hypocrisy
BIDEN SELF CONFESSED ZIONIST LOYAL ONLY TO 👺 STATE & HIS EVIL CABAL PAYED FOR THEIR UNCONSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT 😡 TRAITORS TO HUMANITY
They were waiting for the UN to do something but the US blocked it every time. Also, neither side was willing to negotiate a peace deal until recently.
What about all of the illegal prisoners in the Israeli prison
They don't want to hear about that side of the story
Israeli government have to be condemned for this too.
hostages, if they were prisoners they would have charges but isnotreal arrests women children and elders without charges
Red flag
They r hostages.
The rule of law should govern all of us as civilized people and states.
In theory, yes. In practice, it's questionable . Because, we all know that the terrorist st@tes of Amerik@ and Pissreal will just ignored it . . One rule for the rest of the world and another for this two terrorist st@tes .
14:42 Agreed, it's not just Netanyahu, it's the vast majority of the Israeli population, 70%+ believe the war is justified, so the senseless murder of 35,000 Palestinians, they believe, is acceptable. This society must change, their apartheid of Palestine for more than half a century shows the Israeli people should never have been given the ability to control Palestine - or to take their land. I worry it was a mistake to carve up the Middle East for a religious authoritarian state that attacks and invades their neighbours, throughout all their history. The Israel lobby in US politics is too strong and must be de-fanged.
I fear they have been made blind by Israeli media
Yes, but public opinion can change or rather be changed. Look at South Africa. After the apartheid ended, most white South Africans claimed that they never supported the apartheid, when in fact they did. But it became so shameful, that almost no one wanted to be linked to it. Same thing with Germans after the holocaust. Public opinion is pliable. Which is why these ICC & ICJ cases are so important.
@@terriej123 I agree, I just fear the US is too beholden to the Israel lobby (AIPAC) and the US political system of what is essentially legalised bribery (campaign donations, 'Citizens United' 2010 ruling making corporations 'citizens' and allowing them to give vast sums of money to politicians). Political opinion definitely matters, and I hope you're right, that a ruling from the ICC would make the US, it's allies and Israel *stop* this war on Palestinians and lead to the 2-state solution.
What a joke nothing will come of this ! Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Its not a case of doubting if Israel is guilty of committing genocide or not as everyone knows it has and still doing it but doubting if the ICJ will be able to bring Israel to Justice. By now, Setan-yahu and co. should have been arrested and cooling down in jail, to prove they are not above the law.
A impunidade os faz arrogantes, se acham intocáveis, os sionistas têm proteção e aval dos EUA para cometerem crimes!
It would mean little, because Nuttyahoo is only part of the problem. The real problem is that Izrael, as an institution, has been allowed to violate international laws and conventions with impunity. That is now embedded in their attitudes and how they conduct their actions in the region. If the global community really want to make this a learning experience, they should start treating it like the Pariah state it deserves to be treated as.
Amen!
Li que Israel é uma base americana no meio do Oriente médio, por isso as violações são liberados, tipo um acordo de cavalheiros, tipo faça tudo de pior contra os muçulmanos que eu apoio você, isso é um aval dos EUA para todos os crimes hediondos que Israel pratica, Israel tem procuração dos EUA para violar as leis, tem seu protetorado, essa é a verdade!
He thinks he is special and can not be reached by anything or anybody. Above the law what a bully
Ele não é nada, cairá como os outros!
More like a Demon !!
Most bullies think like that.
He's a psychopath. Most of the IzraeHelli leaders are. If not, then they are narcissists. No empathy or compassion for humanity.
And he always claims Israel is the victim
Netanyahu must come in South Africa he will see himself in jail
Yes, South Africa also changed its legislation in March 2024 which means that anyone returning to South Africa from Israel who has played any part in the conflict between Palestine & Israel will be denied any citizenship rights & may be deported back to Israel.
I dont even think he will reach jail
What wil he come to sa to do?
😂 you people are fooled. How about hamas?
Definitely they will say they don't recognize ICC
As long as they stay in Israel they’ll be fine.😂
And we don’t recognise Israel
isnotreal
@@Siforce71 maybe, but good luck traveling through out the western countries that he loves so much. A pariah state has no standing on the world stage.
They don’t recognize icc that’s why they are not a member of it lol and don’t want to be one
Can’t have it both ways, Israhell.
In that case, both sides are Israel and USA!
hand in hand! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
How are they a part of the UN and NATO if they do not respect international law which they obviously do not in any way
Israel isn't part of NATO, it's the North Atlantic (as in the ocean) Treaty Organisation, it's a military cooperation body, not a human rights charter. UN has lots of deplorable members, think of it as a student council, it has no teeth and member states must agree to send their own troops to get any kind of UN troops on the ground (e.g. Malaysia as US troops, assisting US in Somalia in Black Hawk Down conflict). Israel, like the US, choose not to sign onto anti-genocide conventions for political and moral reasons (or the lack of morality). They don't want to be caught committing crimes against humanity whilst claiming to be the worlds moral superpower(s). Despicable but telling. However, if Netanyahu/his extremist right-wing govt gets the arrest warrant, he won't be safe to go to ICC-signatory countries, for fear of being arrested and tried like the genocidal war criminal he is. He'll have to stay put in Israel, like Putin in Russia.
@@skullsaintdeadputin is not genocide while netanyahu does.
They should be expelled!
@@asielmundo No, Putin has been charged with war crimes (some have argued genocide is an integral part of that), along with a woman in his govt, for stealing Ukrainian children and taking them, without consent, to Russia to be brainwashed into propaganda. They are both deplorable men.
@@asielmundo100% putin didn’t make any genocide
I conclude the international community on the street will have to be more vocal until there is justice for all Palestinians.
If they don't want "savage terrorism", let them not practice it.
They all should be held accountable for there war crimes against humanity
Benjamin Netanyahu will not be able to smoke drugs in Amsterdam, how terrible!
😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂
He should share the same cell with biden.
He should hv been in jail long ago..!! Baby killers anywhere in unprecedented way is war crimnal ! Accountability is needed desperately
Arrest Biden
not only Biden the rat's around him are responsible too
yes it is not only bibi affair, Naomi Klein described it very well in her last intevention during a protest :" it is bibi, the world he makes and the world that made him"
He's tired of stealing, now he's genociding!
6 months too late
net is so delusional still.
Alhamdulillah
Israel had better be careful.....Iran could stop Israel. US does not want escalation.....so the question is would they come to the rescue this time if they ignore the US. I admire the man in Tel Aviv speaking up and being so open with his views.
Gideon Levy is an incredible worldwide renowned journalist. It's a shame there are so few like him in Israel. He should be awarded for his coverage of the conflict.
@@manuandrade2484 journalist of the year.
@@sharafkhan9050 Probably. Amy Goodman from Democracy Now and Abby Martin have done an incredible work too, especially since Oct 7th, but also for the past decades. But I think the fact Levy is doing it (also for many years) under so much pressure in his country is quite remarkable.
The USA does want escalation and has been pushing for it since the 60's and 70's and most recently in 2014 when Israel started the Genocide and cultural cleansing of Palestine with the help of the USA.
I know that Al Jazeera will make 100documentary about this.
International institutions are weak, by deliberate design. 😮
They are so emotional about their own being kidnapped but they say nothing about the 5000 Palestinians in Eazrael dungeons
I think it's more like 10,000 at this point.
Detained without charges nor trials. Children prisoners are also subjected to t orture along with the adults as reported by Save the Children UK and Defence for Children International.
What did happen to Putin? so to Netanyau...
Putin have arrest warrant and what about bibi.
Putin is not committing war crimes, it NATO
And Biden and blinken and all who support and arm the Zionist Israelis.
*It behooves one to inform the self-proclaimed "Chosen People" that, according to international law, occupiers forfeit the privilege of self-defense. Such a right is solely reserved for the occupied, who in this instance are the Palestinians.*
The USA and Israel make fun of the ICC unfortunately
germany too
Nobody is above the law.
Long overdue !!!
it was not too long ago that Milosovich ( Yougoslavia ) was also arrested and tried in the Hague Court ...so why not this crimminal
Had forgotten about him
Arrest criminal war
That the world will hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.
Quero ter olhos para vê isso, ou seja se os EUA permitir que aconteça!
The international community needs to assert itself...it can't let this pip squeak push it around.
How is it their protection is not our safety?
Karim khan , is an American Agent should not allow in any negotiations relating Palestinian issues.
Why ?
British citizen
Yup hes an agent and compromised.
Genocide is a ‘dangerous precedent,’ Mr Netanyahu… might have been good to think about that. 😅
Nothing but big joke
Nothing will happen.
To come to America he would have to be stuffed into a US diplomatic pouch.
Investigations without consequences? Really? Seriously?
Also, if there is enough pressure by the protesters for the politicians complicity of their representatives to arrest the war criminals, they could be arrested.
Arrest him
Justice for the Palestine victims and family long live Palestine we stand with Palestine
The right of self defense is not a license to commit genocide.. 🙄
The right to self defence is bullshit and peoples of the world know it.
World is indeed getting smaller for Israel, with the passage of every single minute
In Sudan civil war more than 30,000 innocent people killed but Everybody silence ! Everybody lifes matter even whoever.
Arrest the mf shaytanayu asap….
The problem with the world today, is that we don't have leaders like Ghandi and Mandela, who promote PEACE ❤. We don't even have musicians making songs about this .😢
Many bands do make songs about the hypocrisy of these so called leaders & elites. Many hard rock and metal bands are the embodiment of the rebellious nature of rock music. 😎🤘 Check out Critical Acclaim by Avenged Sevenfold, The Stage by the same band, check out Nevermore by Lamb Of God, Disposable Heroes by Metallica, and so many others. Plus everyday people can actually afford tickets to see them. 👍
Not so. Many writers and poets have been busy writing, they just haven't come out yet. We will see it. I've also noticed that a great many contemporary Christian songs that came out even before this all started are holding a light or flame that speaks clearly to what we are seeing happening today. It has been noted that many a musician, including King David, writes songs of Prophesy without even knowing that they are doing it. Many great artists have said, "The words just "came to" them and/or the lyrics". I pray we hear songs of victory and justice for the Palestinian people and the world. That's my hope and my prayer. I want to hear those songs that will be written.

Why would you not recognize International bodies collectively constituted to manage the way we live with our neighbors and maintain peace, yet you want to address your security needs.
As vezes se arranca um sorriso inocente no rosto dos palestinos, sejam fortes, você não perecerá em Gaza! Quanta maldade contra um lindo povo, mas nada é para sempre, isso terá um fim!...
The world we are in now is not about law. It's about muscles, military powers, the more military strength you have, the safor you are.
Imagine if ppl started suing former US presidents for their enabling of apartheid and other crimes? I wish families of Palestinians WD take them to court.
I insist, its NOT that a nation has the right to defend itself, it has the OBLIGATION to do so. BUT; this applies to ALL nations and not just some. It is my opinion that the HAMAS attack on Israel was terrorism, but there was a prior history of HUGE injustices on the Palestinian people. Also; Israel should have thought about their reaction to the hamas attack, instead they were led by hate and revenge. No-one, repeat, NO ONE! will benefit from this massacre and Genocide that Israel is committing! Oh, unless you consider ALL those, directly and indirectly getting rich from the sales of arms. My prayers and support for those innocents being slain and my disgust and condemnation for those who make wars to gain power and money!
Sábias palavras amigo!
Did it ever seem a bit suspicious as to how quickly the US had two Aircraft carriers right off the coast there after the Oct 7th attack? Did the response time, up to 10 hours, for any help to arrive to those who called for help as soon as the attacks started happening as suspect? So much of what happened that day seems so suspicious to me on so many levels. I have felt from the start that the attack was allowed to happen in order for Yahu and his gang to start a genocide they'd been planning using an attack by Hamas as an excuse/trigger event. Even the death toll on that day was greatly increased by not only a complete drop in communication between the IDF forces and those who should have been communicating with them, but also by the employment of the Hannibal directive against not only military members, as the directive was adopted, but also against their own civilians.
Essa verdade eles escondem, com toda tecnologia que Israel tem é muito suspeito, eu também concordo que Gaza estava nos planos diabolicos! Limpeza etnica e genocidio no maior numero possivel de inocentes! Eles não conseguem enganar a todos, pois esta verdade esta tão cristalina como água!
