The ICC has also issued a warrant for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, who Israel says they have killed.

According to the ICC, the chamber “found reasonable grounds to believe” that Deif was “responsible for the crimes against humanity of murder; extermination; torture; and rape and other form of sexual violence; as well as the war crimes of murder, cruel treatment, torture; taking hostages; outrages upon personal dignity; and rape and other form of sexual violence”.

It also said there were reasonable grounds to believe the crimes against humanity were “part of a widespread and systematic attack directed by Hamas and other armed groups against the civilian population of Israel”.

For Netanyahu and Gallant, who was replaced as defence minister earlier this month, the chamber “found reasonable grounds to believe” that they “each bear criminal responsibility for the following crimes as co-perpetrators for committing the acts jointly with others: the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”.

It also found reasonable grounds to believe that “each bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”.

Probably not ultimately but even if US sanctions on the ICC obstruct efforts to pursue Netanyahu and Gallant, they won’t be protected from prosecution in other countries' courts.

Can't wait for the Government of Ireland to be added to the list of sanctions by the US alongside the ICC.

What a time to be alive.

They'd have to go to Ireland first, I doubt it's on their list of places to see moving forward. Germany might have more luck if they kept the plans quiet.
 
An article by Palestinian journalist Abd Al-Bari Fayyad, "Sednaya [Prison] and Gaza's Prisons – Two Sides of the Same Coin,"

"Amid our joy over the liberation of the people of Syria, we discovered a series of videos [that showed] Palestinians in Hamas's prisons being tortured with the same barbarity that was employed by the Assad regime before its downfall... Looking at both sides, we find a chilling resemblance between the Assad regime in Syria and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Despite Hamas' claim that it cares about the people [of Gaza], the facts show that the opposite is true. Hamas' behavior proves that it is disconnected from reality, living on another planet, as if the daily massacres [in Gaza] are none of its concern. Hamas breaks limbs, causes pain and inflicts suffering on those [Gazans] whom the occupation has not harmed. Furthermore, Hamas and its media have many pre-prepared accusations [that they bring against people] to justify this barbarity, which cannot be justified.


No one has ever argued Hamas are good people, so this isn't a surprise by any means.

I don't mind the UAE proposal; they've got their issues but have been pretty stable for a while now, and have strong relationships with most parties, it would give Palestinian people a chance.
