It's not going to happen, but it's a step towards the right direction.
Judging by the way #ICC charged #Hamas, every ranking military serving in Gaza to be charged with #WarCrimes, just like they did with those in #Bosnia and #Rwandan.
But sadly, just #Netanyahu and #Gantz were those they could dare charging.
The #ICC can issue for signatories countries an arrest warrant on #Netanyahu because it has jurisdiction over international crimes committed in #Palestine since 2012
BUT
If #Israel doesn't recognise the #ICC, its territory isn't included in the jurisdiction, and the crimes of Hamas where carried out there, then how can the #ICC issue a legally binding arrest warrant on Hamas leaders?

[cont’d] Let Justice in the Gaza War Take Its Course (David Kaye)
Kaye says that the #ICC has jurisdiction over international crimes committed in Palestine since 2012, when the court's territorial jurisdiction was expanded to include the territory occupied by Israel.
[…] Regardless of the outcome of the cases, the prosecutor’s request that the court issue arrest warrants for #Netanyahu and #Sinwar helps cut through the polarizing language of the moment and promotes the idea that the basic rules of international humanitarian law apply to all. Anyone demanding an end to the conflict in Gaza and the release of all hostages from the grasp of Hamas should embrace the decision.
[…] There is a global cost to opposing the International Criminal Court. With U.S. and European support, the court is seeking to prosecute President Vladimir #Putin for alleged crimes in Ukraine. The court promotes the global interest in accountability for the worst crimes under international law. Attacks on it only benefit those who, like Mr. Putin, seek to delegitimize its existence.

Netanyahu on the Warrant: An Outrage; It Won't Stop Us
#Netanyahu addressed the decision of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague to request arrest warrants against him and Defense Minister Gallant at the #Likud faction meeting, and called the move an "outrage." Netanyahu told his party members that "this won't stop me or stop us."

#ICC / Prosecutor asks for arrest warrants for three leading Hamas leaders, as well ass Netanyahu and Galant
[...] The office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Monday said it was seeking arrest warrants against three leading Hamas militants for their alleged roles in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“I’m a professor who got fired and arrested for protesting Israel’s Gaza war”
For nearly 20 years, Danny Shaw served as a professor of Latin American and Caribbean studies at the City College of New York. But, last month, he was accused of anti-Semitism and fired for his outspoken criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza as well as the use of US weapons and money in the enclave’s destruction.
“They try to label us as terrorists, but what are our crimes? Student encampments, books, the truth?” says Shaw.
Comme Ghassan Abu Sitta que les nazis allemend ont menacer de poursuite s'il assistai à une condérence où il a été solicité pour parler non pas de politique, mais de la difficulté de soigner à #Gaza
Sans chercher à savoir, la France collabo lui a aussi interdit ke territoire en arguant l'interdiction nazie Allemande qui collabire aux génocide de #Netanyahu
#Israel / IDF Data: 44 Soldiers Injured in Fighting Over the Weekend, 8 in Serious Condition
While pressure in mounting on #Netanyahu to end the war and sign a deal with Hamas to return the captives, #Haaretz is reporting that 44 soldiers have been injured since Thursday in fighting in the various sectors, eight of them seriously – according to IDF data. According to the data, 22 of the injured were in the Gaza Strip and 22 outside of it.
Israel’s war minister declares opposition to Israeli military control of Gaza as Netanyahu insists on continuing the war. Meanwhile, the Israeli army killed five Palestinians in the West Bank, including a student on Nakba day.
A US Department of the Interior staffer has become the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of #US support for Israel’s #genocide.
Lily Greenberg Call, a special assistant to the chief of staff, accuses #JoeBiden of using Jews to justify US policy.
#Israel / Netanyahu: The Palestinian Authority “supports terrorism, funds terrorism and educates for terrorism”
Nobody did more than #Netanyahu to funnel money to the #Hamas, the PA’s staunch enemy. Most countries in the world see the #PA as a political authority who’s the legitimate representative of Palestinian aspirations for statehood, which in Netanyahu’s vocabulary means “terrorism”.
Netanyahu (who’s indicted for several corruption charges) responded to the statements of Defense Minister Gallant, and said: "After the terrible massacre, I instructed to destroy Hamas. IDF fighters and security forces are fighting for this. As long as Hamas remains, no other entity will govern Gaza - certainly not the Palestinian Authority."
He added that "80% of the Palestinians in the West Bank support the terrible massacre. The Palestinian Authority supports terrorism, funds terrorism and educates for terrorism. The first condition to pave the way for another entity is to eliminate Hamas and do so without excuses."
In his statements, though, he did not address the possibility of establishing a military government in the Strip.
Ma'ariv newspaper describes the situation as: There is a new prime minister in “Israel”.
They add that in practice, Benjamin Netanyahu has become the servant of his master, Itamar #BenGvir, and this raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated?
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir appeared in front of the cameras a few days ago while leaving the Prime Minister’s Office, acting Prime Minister, and announced in an unambiguous tone: “I warned the Prime Minister that we will not enter #Rafah, nor will there is an illegal deal.
The Prime Minister heard the words, and promised that "Israel" would enter Rafah, and promised that the war would continue, and promised that there would be no illegal deal.
These words and tone of voice leave no room for doubt in the heart of every listener. There is a new prime minister in the State of #Israel.
This raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated? It has reached the point where even a response from a prime minister, in order to preserve his dignity, is not uttered.
Netanyahu, despite thousands of disagreements, knows what the majority of the people want: the release of detainees, and he also knows what is important and useful to the people.
But he follows Ben Gvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, because that is what is good politically for Netanyahu for obvious reasons.
#Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and GOP lawmakers in the U.S. have threatened to retaliate against the court if it issues arrest warrants for officials in #Israel 's government.
#Israel / 'Don't trust the Gentiles who make promises'
Still looking for an excuse for a massacre in Rafah, #Netanyahu delivered a statement ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, saying: "My wife Sara and I met with Holocaust survivors who will light the torches of remembrance this evening. One of them, Michael Bar-On, told us: 'Don't trust the Gentiles who make promises.' He is right."
Netanyahu added that "During the Holocaust, there were great leaders in the world who stood by. The first lesson of the Holocaust is that if we don't defend ourselves - no one will defend us. And if we have to stand alone - we will stand alone."
Netanyahu. who's manifestly NOT an expert on the #Holocaust, drew harsh criticism from Yad Vashem researchers for Holocaust denialism when he claimed that the Final Solution was the idea of Palestinian national leader Hajj Amin al-Husseini.
