American human rights activist, Aryeh Neier, says that if a government acts in good faith and does a proper investigation of an alleged abuse, then the International Criminal Court has no need to intervene, Neier says he does not have any “confidence” in Israel’s willingness to conduct an internal investigation into alleged abuses against civilians in the Gaza war.

Marc Weller, a professor of international law at Cambridge University, says the International Court of Justice does not have an army to enforce its indictments against Israel, unless the UN Security Council votes in support of the court’s judgements. He says the International Criminal Court indictments against Prime Minister Netanyahu have made it increasingly challenging for Israel to “manoeuvre” diplomatic relations.

Gideon Levy, a columnist at Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, told Al Jazeera that he hopes that “Israelis will start to look upon themselves and not to blame the whole world for what’s going on”. “The notion right now in Israel, as usual, is that the whole world is against us, the whole world is anti-Semitic and let’s get together, we the victims of the world. I don’t know how long it will last because there must be cracks,” he told Al Jazeera. “Israelis should start to ask themselves, ‘Where is my responsibility’? Is it really only the world’s blame? Or maybe there were crimes of war in Gaza. Maybe our leaders […]

Geoffrey Nice, a British barrister and judge, says the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction in Gaza, and that he expects a prompt decision because no one involved with the processes of the law, with respect to Israel, dares to “move slowly”.

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 […]

Germany has been accused of aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza, in a case before the UN’s top court in The Hague, Netherlands.

It also wants Berlin to restore funding to the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in six months of bombardment – nearly half of them children. Ambassador Carlos Jose Gomez is representing Nicaragua. He argues that this conflict will last for generations if countries like Germany continue their indiscriminate support of Israel. Daniel Muller represents Nicaragua’s claims that Germany violates […]
