Several accusations of war crimes have been made against Israel during the war. The International Court of Justice, for instance, which is not connected to the ICC, has conducted inconclusive hearings on whether Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. Unlike that court, the ICC deals with individuals rather than countries.
The ICC’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, warned that threats to “retaliate” against the court could undermine its impartiality. On what grounds would the ICC issue such warrants, and what would be the consequences?
Yet Mr Netanyahu felt the threat serious enough to state on April 30th that any warrant “would be an outrage of historic proportions”.
Israel’s government is concerned that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague will issue arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials in relation to the war in Gaza.Those under suspicion could include Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, members of his cabinet and generals in the Israel Defence Forces.
- The International Court of Justice 国际法庭
- 举行听证会 conduct hearings
- inconclusive adj. not leading to a definite decision or result 非决定性的；无定论的；不确定的
- genocide n. [U]the murder of a whole race or group of people 种族灭绝；大屠杀
- 以色列在战争期间被指控犯有战争罪。例如，与国际刑事法院无关的的国际法院就以色列是否在加沙实施种族灭绝举行了听证会，但尚无定论。与国际刑事法院不同，国际法庭审理的是个人案件，而不是国家。
