ICC Warrants Are Binding, EU Cannot Pick And Choose, Eu's Borrell Says by God1000(op): 1:23pm On Nov 24, 2024

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has reminded member states of their obligation to implement the ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant and flatly dismissed Israel’s assertion that the court’s decision was ‘anti-Semitic’

European Union governments cannot pick and choose whether to execute arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against two Israeli leaders and a Hamas commander, the EU's foreign policy chief said on Saturday.

The ICC issued the warrants on Thursday against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri, for alleged crimes against humanity.


All EU member states are signatories to the ICC's founding treaty, called the Rome Statute.
Several EU states have said they will meet their commitments under the statute if needed, but Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has invited Netanyahu to visit his country, assuring him he would face no risks if he did so.

The states that signed the Rome convention are obliged to implement the decision of the court. It's not optional," Josep Borrell, the EU's top diplomat, said during a visit to Cyprus for a workshop of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists.


Those same obligations were also binding on countries aspiring to join the EU, he said.
"It would be very funny that the newcomers have an obligation that current members don't fulfil," he told Reuters.


The United States rejected the ICC's decision and Israel said the ICC move was antisemitic.
"Every time someone disagrees with the policy of one Israeli government - (they are) being accused of antisemitism," said Borrell, whose term as EU foreign policy chief ends this month.


I have the right to criticise the decisions of the Israeli government, be it Mr Netanyahu or someone else, without being accused of antisemitism. This is not acceptable. That's enough."

Israel's 13-month campaign in Gaza has killed about 44,000 Palestinians and displaced nearly all the enclave's population while creating a humanitarian crisis, Gaza officials say.
Israel began its offensive after the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people in southern Israel, with more than 250 others taken hostage, Israel has said.

In their decision, the ICC judges said there were reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and Gallant were criminally responsible for acts including murder, persecution and starvation as a weapon of war as part of a "widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Gaza".
The warrant for Masri lists charges of mass killings during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. Israel says it has killed Masri.

EU caught up in their warped reality of subservient support for israel and respecting ICC arrest warrant


Israeli leaders should stop using antisemitism propaganda to blackmail individuals and countries that oppose their evil.

No more double standard behavior, the same ICC issued arrest warrant on Vladimir Putin of Russia which was welcome by both the US and EU.

What happened when Putin visited south Africa.
Was he arrested, you guys rejoiced that south Africa as member nation of ICC cannot arrest Putin, even though he is the aggressor.

Bibi is only defending his citizens, he is not the aggressor, he is trying to dismantle threats so that Oct 7 won't repeat itself as promised on national TV by Hamas members.

Why would ICC issue arrest warrant on Bibi if it's not antisemitism.


Edited: I learnt Putin didn't travel to south Africa again. But Even if he has visited, SA already seek exemption from carrying out the order.

Putin did not visit south Africa then, I think he sent someone to represent him at the summit


You don't call the massacre of over 43,000 civilians mostly women and children self defense, it is a clear genocide


Take your antisemitism nonsense away from here, Israelis don't have two heads, we are all created equal

Isrealis didn't start it, Group of youths and teenagers was enjoying music when those beast struck, they didn't care if you are isrealis or African, the Isreali families including babies that was murdered in cold blood was in their homes, we all saw on social medias on Oct 7th.
We all saw how the gazans were rejoicing that their fellow country men, was killing women and babies, dragging their bodies on the street of Gaza amid cheers from onlookers.
If you are the PM of Isreal what would you have done differently?
Seek for sympathy and wait for another Oct 7?

Call a spade a spade, their war on Gazans are justified.
Let the Hamas release the hostages before they can have the moral ground to seek for mercy.
Standing on the reasons stated above, seeking arrest warrant for the man protecting his people in my own opinion is pure antisemitism.

if you want to respond to such attack, it should be done proportionally and in line with international law because israel is a member of UN.

I want to ask you, was Adolf Hitler of Germany right when he massacre over 6million jews? Should Israel wipe out the entire population because of the actions of few Hamas?


Are you happy with the suffering and pain of the Palestinians for over 70 years before the October 7 attack?

In War, there's nothing like proportionality, We only have Victims and Aggressors. That's why the word deterrent exist" if you know the price of provoking a stronger opponent is high you won't dare it''.
Secondly, Hamas rejoices in death and sees it as means of achieving martyrdom (72...) While isrealis value Life and adore the sanctity of life, that's why you don't see them mutilating their enemies even in death( Case study of sinwar).

Do you think if Hamas has means of IDF, there will be a single life left in Isreal? Think again.
Allowing your enemy to regroup and re organise to attack again is not observing int'l law.

Finally if someone is committing genocide or has portray intent to commit genocide it is Iran. You fire more 300 missiles into a country, what kind of result were there expecting? Another one is Hamas firing rocket into civilian population, what is the intent.

My brother, lets be rational in our reasoning, if Isreal should reciprocate the no of drones, missile and rocket into either Lebanon, Gaza or Iran. What do you think will happen?.

Let them release the hostages then come to negotiation table and err their grievances if any like civilized human being, but it they choose the part of violence, then people like you holding Isreal back from finishing the Job are the real enemies of humanity.

1. To answer your question, please tell me the offense of the Jews, what did they do to Hitler, then I will provide you with an answer.

2. Have you seen the documentary of Gaza? My brother it's funny a Nigerian saying that the Gazans are suffering, choose any state in Nigeria let's make the comparison, if that's suffering what are we doing in Nigeria? When you see the pictures of their citizen, compare it to your neighbor, you will understand we need those support from UN more than the Gazans.

Arguing with your type is very difficult, I don't like it when people ignore facts and twist things to suit their narrative.

Stop wishing other people harm, imagine Nigerian army doing this to your tribe for over a year because some hoodlums in your tribe committed such act, people like you will be everywhere crying and writing petitions to UN, ECOWAS and AU.

I am not wishing anybody harm, I strongly solicit and stand with what is right, imagine living under constant siren" ThankGod for Technology" Isreal made it clear they are after Hamas and not ordinary Gazans. Most of the death are caused by Hamas, like the hospital incident. You are the one pushing the twisted narrative to paint Bibi bad, but for once think about the isrealis, a nation surrounded by enemies, for 70 years, fighting war, imagine a 70 year old man, witnessing countless war from different enemies.
To imagine in all this wars, they have never been the aggressor.

If you support peace, call a spade a spade. It's that simple.

Hitler didn't start the Second World War. France and the UK declared war on Germany to support their military pack with Poland. The fact that Israel has continue to kill women and children indicate that they are guilty
