Biden Rejects World Court Investigation Of Israel As Netanyahu Arrest Warrant Looms
MONDAY, APR 29, 2024 - 09:40 PM

The Biden administration is reportedly in the midst of a diplomatic full court press in efforts to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from issuing arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC is also expected to issue warrants for Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Herzi Halevi, in connection with alleged large-scale human rights abuses related to the war in Gaza.

Axios reports Monday that the Israeli government is growing "increasingly concerned" over the possible action, while Walla news has written that Netanyahu is "under unusual stress" over what will be a largely symbolic, albeit still deeply embarrassing reputational black eye for his government at a moment he's facing immense domestic pressure at home to bring back the hostages.

The Israeli leader has personally asked President Biden to intervene. Axios details of the call: "The officials said Netanyahu expressed his concern to Biden in a phone call on Sunday, where the two leaders also discussed hostage negotiations, Israel's defense against Iran's missile attack, and the need to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to a White House readout."

The White House has issued a fresh statement Monday stressing that the United States "does not support" the ongoing ICC investigation into Israeli war crimes.

The ICC's investigation actually goes all the way back to the 2014 Israel-Hamas war. But also following Oct.7 and Israel's invasion of Gaza, South Africa brought a fresh war crimes case - which has gained the support of countries like Turkey, but especially a number of countries of the Global South.

The Hague-based court in March 2023 issued an arrested warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine war, so this means that ironically Netanyahu could soon be a "wanted" man right alongside Putin.

On Friday Netanyahu defiantly said, "We will never stop defending ourselves. Whereas decisions of the court in the Hague will not affect Israel’s actions, they would be a dangerous precedent threatening the soldiers and officials of any democracy fighting criminal terrorism and aggression," in a message on X.

Israel is now warning that an ICC warrant could blow up a hostage deal being mediated by Egypt and Qatar:

If the International Criminal Court does issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, continues the official, it will lead to “a wave of antisemitism around the world” that could blow up a potential hostage deal. This is not an Israeli threat to walk away from talks in the case of an ICC decision, explains the official, but reflects Israel’s belief that international pressure on Israel will remove pressure on Hamas to make compromises necessary for a deal.

Reacting to the US State Department report that found five IDF units guilty of “gross human rights violations,” the official says that Jerusalem “categorically rejects any attempts to harm the IDF and Israel’s right to defend itself.”

In January, the ICC issued an interim ruling which stated that South Africa's case has legal merit and can proceed while ordering Israel to take all measures capable to prevent acts of Genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Ultimately the ICC has no enforcement power on its own, but can call on member states to arrest leaders on its blacklist if they ever travel through their territories. Putin back in August canceled an in-person trip to South Africa for a BRICS summit precisely to avoid a potential embarrassing situation at a moment Pretoria was being pressured to act.

Don't mind my poor grammar pls!

Let me expose the SECRET behind fielding NORTHERN MUSLIM as a vice President of the incoming NIGERIAN PRESIDENT.

Many people will not want to hear this reality, before the coming of British Colonial masters there were no Christians in the north(likewise South) fact that Northerners were all Muslims (even at that time).

It was during the British amalgamation that Southerners (mostly Christians through British missionaries), as well as Northerners (mostly Muslims through Arab traders), knew each other.

Another reason is that Muslim Southerners are in Harmony with their Christian brothers and sisters,
Unlike Christian Northerners who are always ready to create menace & conspiracies to their hosts if they are given a chance.

The fact that some people are always crying, because they feel injustice about Muslims representing NORTHERNERS is baseless and factless
Because NORTHERN CHRISTIANS ARE IMMIGRANTS FROM SOUTH
Some people will judge me by asking why is that Muslims(Tinubu) represent the South?
The answer is, that they should know that Muslims Especially In South West have the highest percentage of the total population and are very SIGNIFICANT in the South, unlike Christians who are very INSIGNIFICANT and are taken for granted.

Just say they are ibos like you lie to yourselves that you are Jews so that they can vote Obi in 2056.

Mumu radio Biafra propaganda .

By the way , how about jubril ?

Nah dem

Trying to untie Naira from the apron strings of US$ and other Western currencies was the 2nd cardinal and unpardonable sin GEJ committed against Western interest.

The 1st sin was the signing into law of the anti gay bill. Once that bill was signed by GEJ, Obama vowed to walk with anyone including terrorists in Northeast Nigerian to remove GEJ.

Today, the cutting of economic shackles and pillaging of African resources by the West is being pursued by the young military governments in Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Guinea with great success.

So much so that the homosexual Obama banned US companies from buying Nigeria crude.

The bastard even floated BH and propped up that idiot Buhari to steer us back into debt .

God punish Buhari , Sanusi and the entire APC.

But that doesn't mean that Obi would have been better .

That Zionist IPOB idiot would have been the best Shabbat Goy to Larry Fink and Jewish banksters.

Go get a job.

No be only Reno nah Soyinka .

emmi14:
You have nothing to say. You are still talking about oil. We need more transparent investments outside oil.

I suggest slaving .

God knows we need to decongest Nigeria of its nigger population just as we did in the past.

Japa will soon come by force for yamris.

Antivirus92:
Different types of madness

Ode, Obi carry Una illegal share of Niger Delta oil invest in his business and use Una head dash public schools to his Catholic church so he will have more money to loot .

You people are not smart at all.

Nah this brazen sociopathic thief Una one foist on us?

Tufiakpa!

Don't blame me for your poor understanding of economics.

Mighty China, the second largest economy in the world has $3.2 trillion in foreign reserves, has a huge amount of it invested in American treasury bills.

The dollar is the world's reserve currency. It is the most preferred currency for international trade. If you want to become impoverished, ditch the dollar!

The value of a currency is always vis-à-vis another currency.

Nigeria does not export enough and that's one of the main reasons the Naira is weak. A strong Naira encourages importation while a weak Naira encourages exports.

Japan, South Korea and China became export giants and wealthy nations by weakening their currencies against the dollar so that their exports could boom.

Has it occured to you that all of China's major production is financed by western investors ?

The US played the same trick on the Saudis that their oil revenue must be reinvested in US stock so as to not cause a one way cash flow.

The chinks were promised same deal by Nixon to get US and western tech and cash investments in the condition that China invests in US treasury bills.

Now the chinks are getting sense and seeing this as a scam and are bypassing commodity markets in the west by going straight to resource countries in Africa to sign trade agreements.

The chinks are also trying to de-invest from the dollar by pushing BRICs. The only draw back being that most Chinese sales are based in western countries from western invested firms.

It's for this reason I see China as a paper tiger unlike Russia which does not in anyway rely on the west.

The future is Russia and not those communist prone insectoid slave economy chinks.

Vadese1:
The Tinubu government is not putting it priorities right defending the naira artificially is a waste of time and resources. The government should do everything possible to put the three refinery in other . If Nigerian can access cheaper fuel, the local products will reduce drastically in price. Most farmers are spending in naira not dollars. Food is rising in price because of high cost of petrol. Let Tinubu and his team have some sense

No.

Tinubu should handover the refineries to BlackRock portfolios just as Obi handed primary schools owned and built by the state to the Catholic church.

Your medicine is worse than the disease

So you want to remain slaves to Jewish money changers in the west ?

Slave .

SenecaTheYonger:
How will you implement this? You guys always reason like Buhari, forgetting that the so called black market also has its advantage. How will diasporans get naira when they come to Nigeria? Through Banks? They will need a dom account for that. And if you're hoping for banks to exchange it over the counter, you've just created another black market, but this time you've given power to the banks.

Is there black markets for FX in an organised economy like in the west ?

Black markets are a sign of a failed regulatory central banking system.

Rest.

xavuv:
All you wrote up there are wrong sir.
God bless USA.

Trash.

Breton Woods agreement saw to the dollar being a reserve currency backed by gold.

Nixon removed the dollar from the gold standard and pegged it on US federal lands.

Now it's pure fiat with nothing but pure threat and action of violence from the JewSA.

Rest.
