Bible box israel and calls to move by the i c. C. Prosecutor outrageous. The go into the bloodshed and gaza is really forces attacking, besieged palestinians shop to now farmers and shelters. Also had to run an honest as president ial elections for june 28th after president abraham of ice is killed and i had to call to crush the nearly 300. 00 days of israels water and gas. 35386 palestinians killed. Now the chief prosecutor of the worlds top criminal court, the International Criminal court is seeking arrest wardens for israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. And his defense minister of gallant, been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. Doesnt yahoo says its a complete distortion of reality. Us President Joe Biden is calling it outrageous. Yeah, i see prosecutor also wants arrest wadhams for 3 senior homeless leaders for they have trouble his 7th attack in southern israel. Move thats been denounced by how much a sum up inch of it begins are covered. Of the starving children is a crime. The killing civilians is a little crying, and wilfully causing suffering is also a criminal act. Those are the top 3 reasons. The prosecutor of the International Criminal court has cited for requesting at restaurants for these really Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and defense minister golf kalonde. Reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office that hes really Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to administer of defense. Youll have got back criminal responsibility for the following. International crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine. Several is really ministers have denounced the allegations of full crimes and crimes against humanity before the minister is ready costs. It says its a historic disgrace and that especially the board room has been set up to counteract the decision. But not everyone agrees is right, really gain full text. It says was this war of the whole very because of december. And the whole board is against us any to unite the game. These very easy to very nation at least take even more nation. This is way and everyone receives, so just and such a 16 by the evil decision, i think its adjusted decision. The icpc prosecute is also seeking the rest of ordinance for from us political and been if you need to explain honey. Yes and bar involvement theyve that are reasonable grounds to believe that these 3, how much lead has a criminal youre responsible for the killing of these really civilians in a textbook to try to buy a mess and im groups on the 7th of october 2023 the Palestinian Group says the arrest warrants for nothing. Yahoo and kalonde a several months too late. And rather than equating the victim with the perpetrator, i sufficient or do the rest of all occupation officials gave orders and the soldiers who counted out the crimes. If we want to be honest, we should be looking at what it is that the government is really government has been doing the orders that it has it issued to its soldiers and its issued orders to its soldiers to carry out a genocide. If this court is to have any credibility, it should be going after the people were committing genocide, rather than just simply trying to play this game of both sides. For months, the i c. C. Prosecute to face criticism of the conduct in gods unfolded cream hunts. Critics, even of the un Security Council, criticize what they saw as, as an action to hold is really comfortable. Ceasefire a ceasefire. Israels allies, including the united states, mostly expressed anger. I had to run dave, i cc announcement target israel and we will talk to you said a warning letter for me. It doesnt us for public incentives to threaten to cut funding in function i. C. C, stop and their families. This is go that today. And then me, a talk of arrest warrants is unlikely to have an Immediate Impact on the war which has killed more than 35000. 00 palestinians and displaced millions more since october. Some of the job was there. Okay, let me walk you through the next steps in the i. C z process. And application is made to the quotes Pre Trial Chamber to decide whether sufficient grounds and jurisdiction exists. Now, if the arrest ones are issued, suspects can voluntarily surrender to the i. C. C, r countries that have signed up to its wrong statute, have an obligation to arrest them. If apprehended the hearing is going to be held to decide if theres enough evidence to go to trial. And if the case proceeds, 3 trial judges are going to preside, and the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Judges can then issue sentences of up to 30 years in prison, and even life sentences in exceptional cases. Start bostons at the hague and she explains what the prosecutors bid means for international law. Im the court as after months of pressure from all sides on the International Criminal court, the prosecutor here has made a major announcement with the rest of organs that he is requesting. Now, the icbc is embarking on an unprecedented join. And in one of the most high profile cases, its ever had since its the establishment in 2002, despite all the pressure coming from the united states, for example. And also criticism for from countries like germany who are wondering if the court has the jurisdiction the prosecute with a has decided to go ahead with this case. What will now happen is that the Pre Trial Chamber judges would have to decide if the request for the arrest warrant of valid. So that will definitely also add the jurisdiction of the court. And we know that since 2021, this court has decided that its can a rule over cases that happened crime. So it has been committed in the palestinian territories, although its, well, its not a signatory of the wrong statute. So these judges will have to decide, probably within a few weeks, what then happens if they really decide to issue these arrest warrants . Then the 124. 00 members of who have signatories assigned to the room, such as will have to arrest these people when they come into their countries and have to transfer them to the hague, where they will be detained and will be put on trial. I have to know though that the countries like the united states, china, israel, for example, on not the signatory. So in these countries they dont have that same obligation. But still, this is a very significant 1st step and its very prominence. Case stuff. Awesome al jazeera, the hey, well, israel is not a member of the eyes easy, and israels, they just dont face in minute arrest. But they say the prosecutors decision is disgraceful. Im anti semitic. Well, how much im jim has more Benjamin Netanyahu, whos coalition has bandages data from reporting from inside israel. So im a homeless talking to us from lot the outrage across the is really political spectrum of the announcement that International Criminal court, cheap prosecutor cutting pond and seeking arrest warrants for israeli Prime Minister benjamin its in yahoo is really Defense Ministry walk a lot as well. As 3 im us leaders is really Prime Minister netanyahu declaring that he rejects with disgust the comparison between israel and how much heres more of what and its, and you also have to say, well, absolutely, but i should condition that the, this absurd and deceitful warrant of the persecution in the hague is aimed and also on the against israels Prime Minister and defense minister, both against the entire states. If is right off, it is against the idea of soldiers who are fighting with the utmost bravery against the vile murder was of a month who attacked us with ring dispute. Tell us the on october 7th, the prosecutor in the haines with was odessa to do. You did compared between the how much monsters and the soldiers of the id, if the worlds most immoral army at a time of such deep Political Polarization is real at a time when theres so many divisions across the political landscape. What we heard throughout the day after the announcement from the i c. C was very much a common refrain, very much echoing, but we also heard from thats in yahoo for example. You had war cabinet member of any gap. Scammer is really defense minister, and he tweeted that to equate israel and how much was moral blindness. We also saw a tweet from the Opposition Leader in israel. Yeah. Your la pete in that tweet. But pete said the icpc arrest warrants are a complete moral failure. We cannot accept the outrages comparison between us and yahoo, instant war between the leaders of israel and the leaders of how much we also saw a tweet from is really president issac hertzog, who in a late fee statement said among other things, the announcement of the prosecutor at the icpc is beyond outrages and shows the extent to which the International Judicial system is in danger of collapsing. We will not forget our hostages, whose they for turn should be the main concern of the international community. We expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly rejected. Beyond that, we also saw a lot of quotes from a named is really political officials throughout these really media landscape throughout the day. Calling the announcement from the i c. C, hypocritical, saying that it was embarrassing on an International Level that it was disgraceful that it was insolent. What we know is that there are top legal scholars in israel, as well as members of the National Security council and the Foreign Ministry that are all meeting they have set up a war room to try to figure out how to deal with all this going forward. How much im doing with 0 . Im not what, as we mentioned, President Joe Biden is calling me, i cc move against Benjamin Netanyahu. Outrageous, he said the us will always stand with israel when it comes to stripes against that security. So could you stay down to the bank . And the said the us fundamentally rejects the icbc, prosecutors attempt to get a warrant against is really leaders. And that any equivalence of israel with homicide is shameful. Hydro castro is joining us now from washington dc, some fairly unequivocal statements being made there. What else has been the reaction in the us . Yeah, these have been strongly stated. Words of support for israel coming at a time when in the last few weeks that there had been a lot of tension brewing between israel and the us, particularly as bite and continues to warn and be ignored against israels invasion of rafa. But now at this i, c, C Application for a warrant has been issued. The president seems to be moving closer again to israel. You spoke on this hours ago as who was addressing jewish americas at the white house. Or let me be clear, reject the i see shes application arrest warrant. You get rid of these wars by apply. Theres no privilege between israel and im off its clear isnt was all, do all can to ensure civilian protection. But let me be clear, concert allegations against israel made by the end as the court of justice. Whats happening is not genocide. Reject the raleigh stand with this room is and threats against is secure. And this follows on a letter that was delivered by about a dozen republican senators last month that kind of for saw the movement here as the i, c. C was at that time considering applying for arrest warrants for netanyahu. And in that letter, the senators said, quote, target is real and we will target you. Thats what they said to the i c c staff. And saying that the us could issue sanctions against employees and bar them and their families from entering the u. S. If they go ahead and approve this application for a warrant, as far as that goes, its these words of disapproval that us officials are issuing as well as pressure on its allies in europe, who are parties to the i c. C. Eventually, if these warrants were to be approved and issued, the us would likely try to pressure those allies not to arrest nothing. Yeah. Who if they had, if they had the opportunity . Rob . Heidi, thanks very much. Indeed. Thats heidi joe castro in washington dc. As well means holland, the grinding guys, a dozens of people have been killed in jamalia and the north as well as the wi fi in the service to mainstream. The income reports the roof of this building and jamalia collapse to of, to, in his rarely asked right . Rescue workers rushed in, trying to resuscitate the people trapped inside. The minimum that i was up in the house was destroyed on top of the heads of the People Living there. Our team is trying to recover the bodies with tools, simple tools, which are the only ones they have to try and get them out from under the rubble of the house. Fighting and jamalia has intensified in the past 10 days. People are helping out whichever way they can with the clean up and with the injured and they get, i get the we came out running and found dismembered heads on the street. I found a small child was injured and i ran with him to come on that one hospital. I didnt wait for the ambulance is on the way up. In the south. Ruffle remains the last city in gaza where israel hasnt yet launched a full scale offensive. More than a 1000000 people remain that with no where to go. So the book is rarely strikes on monday, hit several residential areas for and how do you have most of the time, you know how to cook safe places. A lice, the number of strikes on the safe places is the same as the places that under military operations, the young israel plans to expand its operation. In rafa, despite international warnings, including from the us, that it would be disastrous for the thousands of civilians there to meet you meant that in co, out to 0. The still ahead and ill just say that were going to find out whats nice for sassik this farmer. Later jacob zoom us, whos being bought from money for part of the palestinians who were expelled from there. And then in the neck of 1948, still dont have the rights of return today is that the land was extorted and settlements were built. 20 houses 0 worlds, goes back with young, good old palestinians to re discover their ancestral homes. Why doesnt my grand parents stay here . Why arent i here . Return to palestine on al jazeera climates probably only is from one of the most of the bio diverse nations on there. If youre interested in the nature does not function, we dont exist exploding solutions to save life as we know it we work with and within the cycles of the were not using our past resources, we using them again. And again. If we newer from nature, we have a chance to move forward. Ill just see you as youve seen joining us. Nothing grows forever. Hearing the sharp populations a decline, 70 percent, understanding the reality. I just placed it floated out as it was, teens across the world. When you close to the house of the story, news the youre watching or does it a reminder about top stories this uh top prosecutor for the International Criminal court is taking a rest warnings for his reading. 5 minutes and Benjamin Netanyahu on defense minister. Your government is accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. Both is real and it sounds like the us of the names to move and the restaurants are also being sold for how much leader is mail from the you all have send more on demand. Im a days and accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the october, the 7th attack on israel in gaza is really attacks of killed at least a 106. 00 congress tanita since sunday. And the north is very forces are targeted to residential square and de la, here many of the victims were women and children. Now in the aftermath of the icy c chief, prosecutors move to pursue a ras. One is for is very and how much leaders most im boss it or is that the you and remain type left evading questions on the contentious issue. But some diplomatic voice has emphasized the importance of respecting the judicial is independence, underscoring a cautious approach to legal processes unfold. Ill just say it is Gabriel Alexander reports from the un headquarters in new york. I see your un headquarters most ambassadors did not want a comment about the i c c decision. As one said, its like a hot potato that nobody really wants to touch right now. We spent all day trying to talk to him, masters, even asking them questions as he went in and out of Security Council meetings. But in almost all instances, our questions were ignored. Now, most countries clearly want to let the judicial process play out. And that was the sentiment echoed by motors, ambassador to the un, which is a member of the Security Council. Please stop. What did you did . Should institutions of United Nations. And we think we believe very much in their impartiality and their independence and they should be allowed to carry out the way independently without any threats and through the process. Go for those who need to the fitness as Everything Else has been called crisis. So 1st is also about who is invited. 3 d is about the independent from the course. There is a sense here of us double standards and people point to march of last year when the i c. C issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir, put in for alleged war crimes in ukraine at the time the us and other western countries mostly applauded that decision by the i c. C. But now when the i c. C closes in on arrest warrants for is really officials the us cause it outrages gabriels under. How does it do United Nations in new york . How does the students have walked out of your universitys Graduation Ceremony known as commencem
