Israel may be forced to ‘rethink plans’ after arrest warrant for Netanyahu, says Human Rights Lawyer
Professor Francis Boyle, who was the first to win a genocide case at the ICJ, tells Andrew Marr he hopes the ICC’s arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu will ‘force Israel to think twice about their plans for Rafah’.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu, and Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, on charges of war crimes.
Karim Khan KC stated there are reasonable grounds to believe both individuals are criminally responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7th.
Arrest warrants have also been sought for Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, and the group’s military chief Mohammed Deif.
Andrew also speaks to SNP Westminster Leader, Stephen Flynn, who says the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders is a ‘time for Westminster politicians, David Cameron, Keir Starmer and others to reflect upon the complicity of their silence for so many months on this horrific situation’ in Gaza.
