Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) har utfärdat en arresteringsorder på Israels premiärminister och förra försvarsminister. Huvudorsaken är att domstolen tycker att befolkningen i Gaza får för lite mat och det är enligt dem Israels fel. Detta trots att det under det årslånga kriget har transporterats enorma mängder matvaror via Israel till Gaza.
Israel anfölls för ett år sedan av Hamas från Gaza och snart anslöt sig Iran tillsammans med terrororganisationer från Libanon, Syrien, Irak och Jemen till attackerna. Israels demokratiskt valda ledare har tillsammans med sitt land utkämpat ett försvarskrig på flera fronter mot grymma och rent ut sagt ondskefulla motståndare. Motståndare som villigt offrar den egna civilbefolkningen för billiga propagandasegrar. Israel har gjort mer än någon annan armé någonsin gjort för att i den närmast omöjliga situationen skydda civila så långt det varit möjligt. Det betyder inte att kriget inte skulle vara grymt och drabba de civila hårt men det är vad krig alltid gör. Hamas som startade kriget har inte vid något tillfälle varit beredd att lägga ner sina vapen, befria de kidnappade israelerna och avsluta kriget.
Hamas jublar över ICC:s beslut och uppmanar domstolen att arrestera fler av Israels ledare. Hamas kunde knappast drömma om en sådan seger när de startade kriget, också Iran är nöjd och konstaterar att detta är slutet för Israel.
Man behöver egentligen inte säga mer, när Hamas hurrar över ICC:s beslut visar det allt.
Flera av världens ledare har skarpt fördömt ICC:s agerande men många säger sig respektera beslutet.
Det verkar var klart att domstolen inte agerat i enlighet med de regler som finns för den. Bland annat skall den inte blanda sig ett lands angelägenheter om landet har ett fungerande domstolsväsende, vilket Israel bevisligen har.
Här följer några artiklar och uttalanden som finländsk media knappast kommer att uppmärksamma.
Israels president Isaac Herzog sa att ICC:s beslut markerade "en mörk dag för rättvisa och mänskligheten." Genom att utfärda arresteringsorder för Netanyahu och Gallant har ICC valt att ställa sig på samma sida som terror och ondska framför demokrati och frihet, och förvandlat själva rättssystemet till en mänsklig sköld för Hamas brott mot mänskligheten", ...
ICC has sealed fate of hostages, legal expert tells the 'Post' - interview
Herzberg explained that the ICC decision has “sealed the fate of the hostages. Hamas now has zero incentive to do any type of deal.”
She continued, “There has never been a conflict where a party that was subject to an invasion, missile threats from seven fronts, which has twice faced the largest ballistic missile attacks in history, where 1200 of its citizens were massacred, hundreds of hostages taken, and yet has taken the most extensive measures ever seen to allow for humanitarian aid to enter into enemy territory.
“Gallant and Netanyahu have allowed for airdrops, aid trucks, commercial aid, a humanitarian pier, a humanitarian corridor. They have gone above and beyond what the law requires, and yet they were prosecuted for that specifically.
ICC risks its credible reputation with warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant – editorial
Some will see the ICC's decision as reasonable, and that is exactly what will ultimately strip the court of its legitimacy.
World split over Netanyahu, Gallant arrest warrants, as some in EU vow to uphold them
In the hours after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday, European officials said they were prepared to obey the decision. American lawmakers panned it, calling to sanction the court instead.
USA:“We remain deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision,” the spokesperson added.
...Stephanie Hallett, US deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Israel, said Thursday that the ICC “does not have jurisdiction in this instance,” because “the complementarity principle has absolutely not been applied,” referring to the principle that if a state is capable of investigating crimes committed there on its own, the international court does not have jurisdiction.
...Also denouncing the warrants was Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, who posted on X that his country “declares its deep disagreement” with the decision, which he said “ignores Israel’s right to self-defense against the constant attacks by terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.’
...Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala slammed the decision, saying “the ICC’s unfortunate ruling undermines authority in other cases by equating the elected representatives of a democratic state with the leaders of an Islamist terrorist organization.”
...Hungary’s Foreign minister Peter Szijjártó also blasted the ICC’s “shameful and absurd” ruling.
AG says ICC arrest warrants ‘baseless,’ has no authority in Israeli matters
“On this day, the obvious must be said — the International Criminal Court lacks any authority in the matter,” Baharav-Miara says in a statement.
There was “no place” to issue arrest warrants against the leaders of a democratic country, she says, adding the decision goes against the principles of the court.
Iran Guards chief: ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu is ‘political death’ of Israel
“This means the end and political death of the Zionist regime, a regime that today lives in absolute political isolation in the world and its officials can no longer travel to other countries,” Revolutionary Guards chief General Hossein Salami says in the speech aired on state TV.
In the first official reaction by Iran, Salami calls the ICC warrant “a welcome move” and a “great victory for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements,” in reference to terror organizations supported by Tehran.

'Fueled by political bias': Jewish organizations, figures condemn ICC's arrest warrants
The International Criminal Court holds Jews and the Jewish state to a different standard than the rest of the world, Jewish Federations of North America said Thursday morning in response to the court's announcement that it issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
JFNA said the ICC made a "historically unjust decision" in issuing its arrest warrants for Israel’s "democratically elected leaders and defense officials, who for 14 months have been fighting a war they did not start or want in response to a genocidal terrorist organization’s unprovoked attack."
This decision is a win for terrorists everywhere, according to JFNA, who now see that the ICC has "no compunction equating terrorists who target civilians with democratic states that employ legal frameworks and infrastructure to save as many civilians as possible."

Former Israeli diplomat abhors 'clueless' ICC warrants on Netanyahu, Gallant - interview
The ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant is a "date that will live in infamy," former Israeli diplomat and former foreign ministry official, Yigal Palmor, told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
While he said that it was "too early to speak of the implications with certainty," Palmor told the Post that the impact would be extensive.
"It seems that not only has the ICC issued arrest warrants, in its communiqué it has also determined guilt."
"The guilt of Netanyahu and Gallant is presented as an established fact," Palmor added.
Palmor told the Post that with such an establishment of guilt, there is no need for any legal process.
...He added that the warrants cross a line that was "very clear and agreed upon since day one: the line that separates democratic regimes - where the justice system is more or less independent - and the non-democratic regimes - where the justice system is dependent on international intervention."
Of the list of around 70 people indicted by the ICC, most of them are from countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Sudan, Libya, and Afghanistan. Russian President Vladimir Putin also has an arrest warrant out against him, as well as several other Russian generals.
According to the Freedom House ratings, none of these countries are democratic.
Israel, however, is rated 74/100 on the democratic scale, and is classed as "free."
"This line was very, very clear," Palmor said. "Now they have erased that line all together."
He explained that given the erasure of this clear boundary, "everything is permitted now."
ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant over Gaza war; PM slams ‘antisemitism’
President Isaac Herzog said that the ICC decision marked “a dark day for justice [and] humanity.”
By issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, the ICC has “chosen the side of terror and evil over democracy and freedom, and turned the very system of justice into a human shield for Hamas’ crimes against humanity,” Herzog charged, calling for “true moral clarity in the face of an Iranian empire of evil that seeks to destabilize our region and the world.”
