According to Israeli Channel 12, "Israel" is becoming more worried about the possibility of the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli politicians and military leaders for breaches of international law in its war on Gaza. 

It reported that three ministers and other government legal experts conducted an "emergency discussion" at Netanyahu’s Office to discuss how to fight the fear of such a possibility taking place.

In attendance of Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, "Justice" Minister Yariv Levin, and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, the meeting decided that assistance in other influential international diplomatic areas would be sought to fend off the fear.

This comes as Netanyahu voiced concern this week upon meeting with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron and Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

In the latest related news, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, said last month that "Israel's" crimes in Gaza for nearly six months could keep the International Criminal Court (ICC) busy for the next 50 years.

The colossal amount of evidence concerning int'l crimes committed by Israel in Gaza just over the past 6months could keep the @IntlCrimCourt busy for the next five decades, especially at the current proceedings pace. Accountability is more needed than ever. https://t.co/2dCAEKZOrr

— Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt (@FranceskAlbs) March 22, 2024

Albanese declared that "Israel" is violating orders issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to immediately protect Palestinians’ rights and cease all activities amounting to genocide, following the case brought forth by South Africa.

"Israel" is required to “take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza, after proof was found of “discernibly genocidal and dehumanizing rhetoric coming from senior Israeli government officials."

Customary international law has become a mere option for both "Israel" and the United States. 

The occupation has targeted not only medical personnel and journalists but also hospitals housing hundreds and thousands of displaced Palestinians. All three are protected under international law and Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Convention. 

"Israel" has also cut off food, fuel, water, and electricity to Gaza, a clear ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, and has also used starvation as a method of war, violating Additional Protocol I.
