Washington has threatened the International Criminal Court with further reprisals if it maintains arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant. The US has already imposed sanctions on five judges and prosecutors.

The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. “We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated,” said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.

If the ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024, as well as ongoing investigations into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip and the settlement of Palestinian territory, are not dropped, “all options remain on the table,” he declared.

    One day Israel and Israelis will pay for their crimes

    Sure Palestinians will prolly be exterminated but people under 40 across the world won’t forget what is happening now.

    Or maybe not… Since we are ruled by pedophiles and Israel is know to protect such people.
