Avigdor Liberman: "I think the situation at the is anti from the start. Everything is against us. We made a mistake by approaching them in the first place. We need to deal with this, but we also need to remind our coalition partners that dealing with this without the Americans is almost impossible. We need to coordinate with them."

Trust pro-genocide Smotrich to invoke Nazis and antisemitism:

"We have not seen such a display of hypocrisy and Jew-hatred as that of the court in The Hague since Nazi propaganda. The Nazis also spoke in the name of 'morality'; even then there was nothing but good old anti-Semitism as we have experienced in every generation. Haters of Israel come and go, but the eternity of Israel will not lie. These arrest warrants will be the final nail in the coffin for the dismantling of this political and anti-Semitic court."

Trust clueless Katz, who couldn't care less about the captives, to speak on their behalves:

"The outrageous decision is an unrestrained frontal attack on the victims of October 7th and our 128 captives in the Gaza Strip. While the murderers and rapists of Hamas are committing crimes against humanity against our brothers and sisters, the Chief Prosecutor mentions in the same breath the Prime Minister and Defense Minister of the State of Israel, alongside the abhorred Nazi monsters of Hamas - a historical disgrace that will be remembered forever."

Trust Justice [?!?!] Minister Yariv Levin to defend breaking international law :

"The decision of the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague is one of the greatest moral disgraces in human history. The decision, whose purpose is an attempt to deny the State of Israel the right to self-defense, and the abhorrent comparison between Israeli leaders and the mass murderers who head Hamas, are a clear expression of modern anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews as such. The State of Israel will continue to wage its just war of self-defense against terror, in the most moral manner and according to international law. Israel's citizens, along with many around the world, stand firmly today behind the Prime Minister, the country's leadership, the IDF and the security forces."

Amid growing speculation that the International Criminal Court could issue arrest warrants against officials in the coming days over the war against Hamas in , a White House spokesperson reiterates opposition for the investigation.

“The has no jurisdiction in this situation,” the spokesperson says.

The White House is saying here that Palestine is not a state and that Gaza is Israeli territory. Why?
The ICC does have jurisdiction in ‘state parties’: USA and Israel are not state parties to the ICC, but the State of Palestine is and has been since 2015.

International Criminal Court State of Palestine On a related development, the Government of the State of Palestine accepted, by means of a declaration under article 12(3) of the Rome Statute, the ICC jurisdiction since 13 June 2014. Ratification and Implementation Status State of Palestine acceded to the Rome Statute on 2 January 2015. The Rome Statute will enter into force for the State of Palestine on 1 April 2015. Last Update 23 July 2019 For more information Please see the series Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General that consolidates all information on the Statute (i.e.,signatures, ratifications, accessions, miscellaneous notifications). The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, entered into force on 1 July 2002.

Jurisdiction The Court may exercise jurisdiction in a situation where genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes were committed on or after 1 July 2002 and: • the crimes were committed by a State Party national, or in the territory of a State Party, or in a State that has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court; or • the crimes were referred to the ICC Prosecutor by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) pursuant to a resolution adopted under chapter VIl of the UN charter. As of 17 July 2018, a situation in which an act of aggression would appear to have occurred could be referred to the Court by the Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, irrespective as to whether it involves States Parties or non-States Parties. In the absence of a UNSC referral of an act of aggression, the Prosecutor may initiate an investigation on her own initiative or upon request from a State Party. The Prosecutor shall first ascertain whether the Security Council has made a determination of an act of aggression committed by the State concerned. Where no such determination has been made within six months after the date of notification to the UNSC by the Prosecutor of the situation, the Prosecutor may nonetheless proceed with the investigation, provided that the Pre-Trial Division has authorized the commencement of the investigation...

    / Foreign Minister Warns of 'Severe Anti-Semitic Wave' as ICC Considers Arrest Warrants for Top Officials"

    is reporting that Foreign Minister Katz instructed israeli diplomats around the world to prepare for a "severe anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli wave" in response to the reports that the International Criminal Court in The Hague may issue arrest warrants against high-ranking officials. According to Katz, "if the warrants are issued, they will harm the commanders and fighters of the Israeli Defense Forces and will create a wave of incitement against us by Hamas and radical Islamic circles, led by Iran, which we are fighting." Reportedly, Katz instructed diplomats to increase security around Jewish institutions worldwide.

    [cont’d] / Prosecutor calls for end to intimidation of staff, statement says

    “Such threats, even when not acted upon, may also constitute an offence against the
    administration of justice under Art. 70 of the Rome Statute.”

    […] In October, ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan said it had jurisdiction over any potential war crimes committed by fighters in Israel and by Israeli forces in , which has been ruled by Hamas since 2007.

    The Office of the Prosecutor is aware that there is significant public interest in its investigations, and it welcomes comments, communication of concerns, and engagement in its activities from State and elected officials, non-governmental organisations, scholars, and activists. The Office seeks to engage constructively with all stakeholders whenever such dialogue is consistent with its mandate under the Rome Statute to act independently and impartially. That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the Court or against Court personnel should the Office, in fulfillment of its mandate, make decisions about investigations or cases falling within its jurisdiction. Such threats, even when not acted upon, may also constitute an offence against the administration of justice under Art. 70 of the Rome Statute. That provision explicitly prohibits both "Irletaliating against an official of the Court on account of duties performed by that or another official" and "[ilmpeding, intimidating or corruptly influencing an official of the Court for the purpose of forcing or persuading the official not to perform, or to perform improperly, his or her duties." The Office insists that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials cease immediately.
