Al Jazeera correspondent Osama bin Javaid, reporting from The Global Security Forum in Doha, relayed reactions to the ICC’s announcement from both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives. Gideon Levy, a prominent columnist from Haaretz, expressed surprise at ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s decisiveness but felt satisfaction that war crimes by both Hamas and Israel were being acknowledged. He predicted Israel would react defensively, portraying itself as a victim of global antisemitism, despite his belief in the justice of the decision.
Diana Buttu, a lawyer who has represented the PLO, argued that the ICC’s balanced approach was driven by the scale of Israeli actions, which she characterized as genocidal. She criticized the ICC for appearing to equate the actions of both sides and emphasized the need for accountability for orders given by the Israeli government. Both Levy and Buttu acknowledged the potential symbolic impact of the ICC’s actions, with Levy noting the unprecedented nature of an Israeli prime minister potentially becoming an international fugitive and Buttu hoping it would cause Israeli soldiers to reconsider their actions.
The broader discussion highlighted the possibility of the arrest warrants being issued and their enforceability, with an emphasis on the symbolic weight and potential implications for Israeli leaders and soldiers. The session concluded with thanks to both Levy and Buttu for their insights, noting the significance of these developments both within Israel and internationally.

Netenyahu should b in north Korean jail they know how handling
Must arrest
The ICC arrest warrant should’ve only been against Israeli Leaders. Warrants against Hamas is like a warrent against the Jewish resistance grouos who fought back against the N A Z I S in the Warsaw Ghetto upring
🤡🤣🤣
But Netajew backed by us-eu-uk slaughtered 35000 civilians -, injured 80000 -, 15000 children killed. How many did Hamad kill -???
Too many. Leaders on both sides of this conflict are war criminals, you can condemn both.
The UN has reduced the Hamas numbers you quote by half.
The deaths by Israelis are caualties of a war the deaths by Hamas were the illegal murdering of women and children in their beds.
It’s simply bcuz Israel is the upper hand military power. We all know what will happen if situation is reversed
@@sosososososo4148 With the stateless Arabs attacking Israel regularly since 1948 Israel has had to keep a upper hand to survive.
What a farce, getting opinions from both sides. You got opinions from the same side. Al Jazeera paid clown show

LMAO. Only the confused mind of a lefty wokester could embrace the concept of global citizenship and simultaneously embrace the dogma that people have to have historical connections to long departed ghosts in order to sanctify their location on the planet, and labelling billions of people settlers, colonizers and opressers.
Exactly!!!👍
We have 75 years to look at for proof as well.
I don’t believe there’s a time limit considered for a sum total of actions to constitute the violation of international law being discussed here.
Agreed.
Arabs have been attacking Israel more or less continuously ever since the armies of five Arab countries attacked Israel 75 years ago.

ICC
Punish Hamas for nothing,
Seriously people, you honestly think you’re gonna get hamas in court? They did the same to Putin – I think he wiped his backside with the summons. Just another political posture to keep the propoganda running. Waste of time.
No mention at all of the “more than” 27,000 annual murders in South Africa that according to new UN statistics of deaths in Gaza are almost the same as those that have died so far in the Middle East as the result of war.
Not to mention the off the charts other violene and rapes.
Finally something good to hear inthe world and it’s even sad for Iranian people my condolences for their President.
I’m not sure how sad the Iranian people are. He was president in a repressive, authoritarian regime, and sadly never paid for his crimes for murdering thousands of people in Tehran in 1988.

Potential issuing of warrants.?? Y r they not certain???
Israel is the terrorist state
Big thanks to South African government leaders for being brave and standing up for Palestine ..If the ICC judges approve the arrest warrants….then all countries who are signatories to ICC are obliged to arrest Netanyahu and his defense Minister…Let’s hope justice will be done …the world awaits for justice to prevail for the people of Palestine, though the heavens may fall, let justice prevail.. the whole notion of the rules based world is on trial and so far the USA and Israel have already shown that there’s nothing like international law… international law is applied selectively to favour the USA and their allies..
Finally the ICC seeks arrest warrants for Israel’s PM and Israel’s Defense Minister for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The question is will ICC really do the job or it’s just for TV shows and wound licking strategy? To me the ICC had no other choices but to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defense Minister because the war crimes activities of IDF are too obvious with evidence on every Media platform and even homes. Let’s hope justice will be done …the world awaits for justice to prevail though the heavens may fall, let justice prevail..
South Africa should be busy keeping electricity on for full days and dealing with the more than 27,000 annual murders in the country.

Hitler pretend to be a Catholic and Benjamin pretended to be a Jew Jewish people and Zionists; They’re two different things. Jewish people, fear Elohim and Zionist believe in Islam, but do not fear Allah
Bibi so stupid he fell right into hamas trap the whole point of this was to get the world to think twice about israel I’m sad so many people had to die and will die over this but both leaders should be locked up
Hamas is not a government.
And that rule was to appease the European
They are the elected terrorist government of gazans, clown
And any country, he goes to must place Benjamin under arrest, including America, where Joe Biden is also war criminal.
If Netanyahu’s arrest warrant can be stopped feom being issued, the zionists will most likely assasinate him. assassinations of political leaders by zionists are nothing new

No surprise that for the ICC’s Karim Khan, once again, history begins on October 7th even though his investigation has by his own account been ongoing for a number of years and is supposed to take into account all crimes committed since 2014 – but he has yet to address any crimes between 2014 and 2023 notably the crime of apartheid, the crime of illegal settlements and the occupied territories.
The other thing is his attempt to place the onus primarily on Hamas – so he’s indicted three Hamas leaders but only two Israeli leaders and, strangely, he is seeking the arrest Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the group’s political bureau, who – according to most accounts was not involved in the planning and execution of the Hamas attacks of October 7th. Meanwhile he has not sought the arrest of either Israel’s President Isaac Herzog or the Israeli Chief of Staff or any of the commanding officers involved in Israel’s Gaza onslaught since October 7th – nor for that matter other key decision makers in Israel’s war cabinet like Benny Gantz ,Gadi Eizenkot and others.
British Government covered up infected blood scandal that left 3,000 dead
Today is a ‘day of shame’ for the British state after a report found thousands of patients were given deadly infections during NHS treatment despite the risks being well known.
More than 30,000 people were infected with deadly viruses while they were receiving NHS care between the 1970s and 1990s, in a disaster described by inquiry chairman Sir Brian Langstaff as a ‘calamity’.
Patients were knowingly exposed to unacceptable risks of infection, to the degree that anyone who reads the report would find it ‘astonishing […] that these events could have happened in the UK’, the report said. msn news
Al Jazeera experts you mean
Is this the expert? These are Al Jazeera correspondents 😂
Except all the proof is on isarhell and NOT Hamas. Haven’t seen one video.

There are no war crimes
Not as long as you keep your head buried in the sand. Grow up.
The decision by the ICC to indict three senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes committed in Gaza is mooted by the simultaneous indictment of three Hamas officials, including Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, on similar charges. Clearly the ICC cannot distinguish between the concept of occupier versus occupied. —-Scott Ritter
🤡🤣
No, think they’re differentiating between lawful & unlawful actions in wartime.
Rape as a method of war, intentional killing or kidnapping of civilians as a method of war, torture, starving a population, or depriving them of the essentials of life as a method of war, are all illegal under international laws governing warfare, or crimes against humanity.
If Hamas hadn’t intentionally killed & kidnapped civilians, or committed rape, think all their other actions would be completely permissible forms of violent resistance against an occupier.
Lots of evidence for the truth of Oct 7th was rapidly buried by Israel without allowing independent forensic investigators access. So proof will be harder to find months later.
ICJ has a bold decision .
Neten jahoo doing War crimes.
He is using name of jews people for War crimes.
Like hitler is used name of Christian.
And ALQAIDA USE name of Islam.

What a total farce. The U.S. and Canada for that matter should make it plain. If the ICC carries down this route and arrests anyone from Israel all funds and assistance for Ukraine will be turned off. Let the EU deal with Russia on its own. And as the EU does not pay its 2.1% the U.S. will not come to their defense on article 5. Good luck with that. Trump made that very plain.
What a puffed-up kangaroo court If it wasn’t for the U.S. and Canadian boys, during 2 world wars Europe would be goosestepping today. Puffed up buffoons.

hahahahah, nobody cares what ICC thinks
It’s not a simple matter; sitting Israeli PM and Defense Minister are charged with Holocaust by ICC! Once the victim is now the culprit of Genocide! Huge implications! It’ll test the nerves and brain cells of the western civilization!
Israeli Nathenayahu and Galant are war criminal
Hamas doesn’t exist, it’s a creation by the secret society of the Western Mights with Israel, to justify the destruction of Palestine, such as the twin towers weren’t attacked by terrorist, as much as no Arabian country has ever committed a terrorist attack, everything is invented by the western block to justify the war crimes, atrocities and the control of human and material resources (earth oil, lithium, copper, etc.) in the Middle East, because of the richness in the region, the British empire has been manipulating history through time over centuries to get penetrate the area, religions and races are just the pretext, if USA would really want to destroy them it would be already done, but their presence wouldn’t have more reason, they would have to go home, no reason for staying, so the only real terrorism in human history belongs to Israel since 1947, Palestine hasn’t money and intelligence to attack the way it was presumed to, that’s why Hamas can’t be found, because in fact never existed, and it will “escape, evade and move” to different places so Israel keep destroying, searching and not finding. Such as ISIS doesn’t exist.
Everything belongs to the same point, a Secret Society made by western Mights to control the world order based in the Masonic knowledge.
These plans are grounded about 300 years ago, some variations but at the end just same, more power to the powerful ones, excess after excess, incoherence, unrationality, cruelty etc..

What about severe injury of Palestinians for decades? What about previous Nakba? Why there Apartheid against Palestinians?, then put Nelson Mandela to jail, if he deserves.
this is seven months too late for the war criminals
TRT and Al-Zazeera should focus and help Hamas leaders not to issue any warrants orders against Hamas leaders instead add US leaders and politicians and media. ICC biased by US last 75 years, Genocide is going on in Gaza and Palestinian land lives in this 20th centuries, didn’t issue warrants orders against Israeli.
Why ICC put warrants orders for Hamas??
Hamas is the owner of the Palestinian land, elected representative in Gaza Strip , whole world watching and witnessing without food, water and electricity and fuel and medicine Hamas fighters are fighting alone without any support from anyone to protect their land and civilians. ICC should look at, 10 thousands Palestinian civilians dying in Israeli jail without evidence, October 7th is everyday for Palestinian , ICC should see how many Palestinian killed by Israeli genocide before and after October 7th?? How many Israeli citizens killed by IDF helicopter bombing from the top on 7th October??
ICC can’t justify Hamas based on October 7th and issued warrants orders against Hamas?? October 7th one sense, blessings for Palestinian people, Netanyahu already erased Palestinian territories from the map, Arab world normalising with Israeli, Palestinian prisoners dying in Israeli jail, where was ICC before October 7th?? Sleeping?? Hamas has right to defend themselves against Israeli genocide and war crimes .
UN, ICC and ICJ biased by US donations begging money , Genocide Joe Biden is depriving US taxpayers and donations here to control the International criminal court and depriving Palestinian right to defends themselves against Israeli genocide and occupation.
Whole world should protect Hamas leaders from issuing ICC warrants orders, instead Israeli IDF leaders and soldiers and all Israeli politicians are actively engaged with Israeli genocide in Gaza and Palestinian land.
ICC Kareem Khan should open his eyes more widely and put more Israeli officials stronger warrants orders and remove Hamas leaders from the warrants orders issuing list.
Hamas and Palestinian are the victims of genocide and occupation 75 years, Kareem Khan didn’t do anything ,now issuing warrants orders against Hamas leaders, why??
Kareem Khan should take some responsibilities that if he issued warrants orders against Israeli Netanyahu and his officials ,7th October wasn’t necessary for Hamas. It was necessary for Palestinian survival and forced Kareem Khan to open his so long blind eyes now.
Hamas leaders and whole Palestinian are the victims of genocide and occupation, ICC covers up so many Israeli war crimes until now, ICC should not issuing any warrants orders against Hamas leaders, they are fighting alone without any support from anyone to free their land, end occupation and for their own survival.
