The British government threatened to defund the international criminal court and leave the Rome statute that set it up if it pressed ahead with plans to issue an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu, the ICC’s prosecutor, has claimed.
Karim Khan made the allegation in a submission to the court defending his decision to prosecute Israel’s prime minister.
Khan does not name the individual who made the threats, saying the call on 23 April 2024 was with a British official, but reports have suggested the caller may have been the then British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Khan said the official had argued that issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, was disproportionate.
Why does Israel have so many bitches?
They’re like geopolitical pimps.
Britain in particular might have difficulty reconciling that they made promises to everybody that directly conflicted with each other.
Because having at least one country committing war crimes against civilians keeps “war crimes against civilians” on the table
Because Israel is a fascist nation, and many modern countries are run by authoritarians who will gladly line up to test new weapons on brown people and hide behind accusations of antisemitism whenever someone calls out Israel for their genocide
Because they are THE product of geopolitics. They should know it more than any other country
This. Basically if you say Colonization is wrong, that mean you admit all European colonized country are wrong, this includes Canada, and Australia for example. These people have a hard time admitting their crimes.
