How the ICC bared its teeth - and caught the West off guard | Defence in Depth
Karim Khan, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), is seeking the arrest of three of Hamas’ top commanders but also Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the defence minister Yoav Gallant.
For those that support the ICC and its chief prosecutor, this demonstrates that the court is not simply an instrument of Western power - it shows that everybody is equal before the law, and that’s important for impartiality and credibility.
But for Israel and some of its western allies, the warrant application is an outrage. It shows that the court has lost its way; drawing an unjustified parallel between the armed terrorist group Hamas and Israel - a democracy defending itself from unjustified attack.
