PM non grata? Israel blasts ICC bid to charge both Netanyahu and Hamas

François PICARD | Alessandro XENOS | Rebecca GNIGNATI | Imen MELLAZ | Nomi BAR-YAACOV | Gil MIHAELY | William JULIÉ | Johann SOUFI

Edité par France 24 - 2024

We ask about the alleged war crimes, the measure of the request and the sharp reactions. The US president has branded "outrageous" the accusations against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his defence chief Yoav Gallant, with the likes of the UK, Italy and Germany bemoaning "the inaccurate impression of an equivalence" between both sides.

France is among those that leave the matter to the judges of the ICC, an international court with jurisdiction in 124 nations. The ICC has indicted sitting leaders before, but never a democratically elected one.

What impact will the move have on Israel's reputation and on its politics? And will these charges alleviate the suffering in Gaza?

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Imen Mellaz.

Note

  • Is it about justice or politics? In the same breath, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court requested arrest warrants against both Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu and Hamas's Yahya Sinwar.
