'War criminals perpetrate war crimes' reactions from experts after ICC's potential arrest warrants

- 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.

Global citizens have had enough!!!
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!!!👍
Thanks South Africa!!! ❤
This has nothing to do with South Africa. SA brought a case to International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is a UN organ. This potential arrest warrants come from International Criminal Court (ICC), a different, independent body created by Rome Statute. ICC does its own investigations, they do not operate at the request of South Africa. ICC is the same court that issued arrest warrant for Putin last year.
Palistine brought this case to ICC in 2019, why all this wasn't stopped before October 7th nobody knows..
This was thanks to Fatah
Many IDF commanders and soldiers should also see their day in court for the killings they are doing.
Nuremberg is around the corner
Same for those on October 7
I'm sure that they will but 1 thing at a time.
@@Hotoke234
If you blame the people of Oct 7, then you need to also blame the people (snipers and their commanders) who killed over 300 people who were demonstrating during the 'March of Great Return'.
Yes? Or are you simply interested in starting your count on Oct 7 buddy?
@@MagdiNonDuality I do. I truly believe that the only way everyone gets justice for all of this is that I agree with you sir

ALL COURTS have to BRING JUSTICE for the INNOCENT PALESTINIANS NOW Thank you 🌹
My heart yearned to hear a humane person about the reality. Thank you mr Gedion. You are a treasure of light and honesty in in a dark situation. 💝💝💝💝 thr world need you to keep faith in humanity.
No Palestinians are guilty for defending their country and demanding an end to oppresion and dire violence. Oct 7th is a consequence not a cause. Amen
In the ICC, there can never be equality between the victim and the perpetrator between Israel and Hamas, because Israel is an occupying power according to international law, while the Palestinians have the right to defend their land by all available means.
Palestinians have right to resist an occupation, but they don’t have a right to commit murder. And that’s what Hamas did on October 7. Shame on you for defending murder. As sick as those who defend the massacre in Gaza and the ongoing illegal occupation.
Can you point to the section of International Law that labels successful countries as ''occupying powers?"
Possibly there has been a new wokester DEI clause inserted I'm unaware of.
If "equality" in the "region" of he Middle East known as Palestine were a goal more than 50% of the stateless Arabs in Gaza wouldn't be unemployed for the past 75 years and supported by working westerners through UNRWA, they would have been expected to have spent the last 75 years being productive and nation building.
You are thinking of equity not equality.
Palestinians have the right to defend their land by all available means,, Yeh ok.. cause you say so yeh..
@@jfern6673 Nope they don't. Attacking another country without declaring war and killing woman and children intentionally is not covered by the norms of warfare but is covered by the the murder statutes in the courts of law in all civilized countries so no there is no legal right to use "all" available means.
@jeffspicolli593 you racists and your "DEI" obsessions are getting tired. Your entire statement made no sense.

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.
@@jeffspicolli593 One has nothing to do with the other. Every country have home base concerns.
South Africa the world is proud of you, thank you
I suggest the United Nations head office moved to South Africa as a gesture Av gratitude for saving humanity and world orders
South Africans are hypocrites.
Al Jazeera English, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Levy is always speaking the truth
No justice if the oppressors and the oppressed are both guilty.
Arrest Warrants have nothing to do to do with guilt that's determined in a Court of Law.
The prosecutor is a political animal which is why Hamas is on the list and genocide Biden is not. That says it all about the court, useless.
OK wokester.
The warrants are only for the opressors. They are not for the opressed Palestinian people, just Israeli and Hamas leadership.
@@flopoz2575 Who determined that the mulicultural democracy Israel that has been attacked more or less continuopusly since 1947 by the mono-cultural theocracracy Arabs is a oppressor and the Arab attackers are the oppressed?
Wokester logic!
'War criminals perpetrate war crimes' Tony Blair & George Bush may get their jogging shoes on!!😂😂
This should also pull in Biden & his cahoots, on charges of complicity

We are living in the year 2024 not 1930
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.
Ali BiBi and his jewish land grabbing thieves still at large.
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.
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.
@@jeffspicolli593Indeed
Fair decision 👍
Arrest warrants are 100% justified & should also be issued against any who ignore them or support
Arrest the warcriminal immediately.
Bookem Dano!
Save USA, UN, UK and EU fro Israel!
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.
this is seven months too late for the war criminals
NATHANYAHU has KILLED 35,000.00 and STILL COUNTING KILLED UNARMED INNOCENT FAMILIES NATHANYAHU IS BINDED and ACCOUNTABLE for ALL WAR CRIMES Thank you 🌹

Hope being placed in something that has had took a great journey to get to. I pray to god that this means something to the Palestinians that have stayed in their land, to those who have lost everything in the world. Perhaps the first step of a long journey ahead.

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.

When Simeone name Is Karim khan can speak abaut Israel?
Since Putin is not in jail then what is the purpose of these so-called warrants?
Who enforces them?
Putin is not commiting genocide and all decent world knows it.
Officials of any country that's a signatory to the ICC is obliged/authorised to arrest Netanyahu, etc if they enter that country. Hence, makes it hard for/prevents the accused traveling outside their homeland. There's no organization that can enter another country to drag the person before the ICC, so not a prefect set up.
@@ilanafitzgerald9000 Netanyahu spends most of his time in the US. So what is the purpose of this?
Just restricts where he/they can go for business, international gatherings, holidays, stopovers. Otherwise, am not sure.
Dios mi bendito ya empieza hacerse justicia para Palestina.
Who knew that Karim Khan has guts for it. But still i think he was pressured by ICC organization and Independent Judges who are sick of all what is happening in Gaza. At least it will wake up Israel citizens to evaluate themselves because they became what they hated most
Their citizens dont get the truth on tv. Its all propaganda. AJ is blocked there.
Prof Gabor Mate said it once, they citizens drink coffee in a cafe in Tel-aviv, not having a clue what goes on across the border. Either they chose to be oblivious, or their govt blocks every evidence of war crimes against Satanyahu.

Why not prosecute the israeli président and the IDF CHIEF? ARGENTINA and south Korea are democracie and there many of their previous presidents who were jailed for misbehaviours. So its liké a company why prosecute the CHIEF of products and not the Ceo too??
Al Jazeera experts you mean
So two Hamas leaders are already in the open air prison that Israel created for them - Ok FantastiC so they in prison - What about BiBi , his in no prison
The billionaire hamas leaders are in Qatar
They haven’t been prosecuted for their crimes, hardly comparable to being in a territory with borders controlled by Israel and Egypt.
create life future and tools create and withdraw entities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ICC has been threatened by US, Karim khan seems to have some kind of nervousness in his voice when it comes to Israel
Yaa Allah...57 Muslim states and not a single 1 can send an army
Israel can handle hamas
Reason out of 57 no one wants to eat Nukes for their breakfast....
None of them want to be the first to experience Israeli nukes

@@jeffspicolli593 😂😂
What is wrong with arresting both leaders? I think this is perfect to stop the war. However, some crazy people think only one side should be arrested.
The Hamas guy is a negotiater for more then twenty years , This is done to please the US AND Israel ?
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.
The iCC should go back even to 1948 when this colonial occupation started and resolve the problems from

Who is going to enforce it?

They had a warrant for Sudan's Bashir for years. Supposedly, they can only arrest you if you go to international summits or land in a country that will extradite them. Like he could fly from Sudan to I believe, the UAE and he would be ok. It's strange how it works. Idk why
