Netanyahu’s arrest warrant, a test that tests the principles of Europe

According to RCO News Agency, In an article, referring to the issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the European think tank warned against the possible actions of the United States to weaken this judicial institution and demanded the support of the European countries for the ruling of this court.

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of War of this regime, and this is the first time that this court has issued a warrant for the leader of a united Western government, which shows the extent of the involvement of this judicial authority in Western conflicts. Asia greatly increases.

The court stated that there are reasonable grounds to show that Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza, including the use of starvation as a weapon of war and crimes against humanity such as murder, torture and other inhuman acts. It was also announced that these 2 figures were responsible for intentional attacks on civilian populations in at least 2 cases, which is a war crime.

According to this report, the issued arrest warrants mean that all the member states of the International Criminal Court, including all the member states of the European Union, Norway and the United Kingdom, are obliged to detain the declared persons if they enter their territory. Several European countries, including Ireland and the Netherlands, have announced that they will follow the ruling.

This think tank, pointing out that the arrest warrant against Netanyahu will put severe political pressure on the International Criminal Court, emphasized that all European countries, even those that support the Zionist regime the most, must clearly show that they respect this court as an institution. They will support the independent judiciary and execute arrest warrants.

Also, they should refrain from any comments that weaken this court or question its legitimacy. Since the European countries have strongly supported the issuance of the arrest warrant of the Russian President “Vladimir Putin” by this court, now they should not question their credibility by trying to weaken the criminal court.

In addition, in this article, European leaders are advised to change the way they interact with Netanyahu in the occupied territories or outside of it and to refrain from making unnecessary contacts with the people whose arrest warrants have been issued.

The think tank of the Council on Foreign Relations of Europe stressed that this action of the International Criminal Court will probably lead to severe criticism and even punitive measures by the United States against this court. During the first term of his presidency from 2016 to 2020, Trump sanctioned several officials of this international judicial authority for investigating the actions of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Mike Waltz, Trump’s possible choice for national security adviser, has announced that the Criminal Court will face a strong response from the United States after the start of Trump’s presidency in January 2025.

At the end of this article, it is stated: “The European Union must prepare for the US attack on the Criminal Court and clearly state that it rejects any political pressure on this court or its officials and against any pressure from the United States to cut ties and support. resist the court.”
