Fourteen long months into the occupying regime's genocidal campaign in #Gaza, marked by the most harrowing atrocities, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I finally issued arrest warrants for the two top criminals #Netanyahu and #Gallant. Of course, their indictment should have included '#genocide' which is manifest.
We welcome any step to serve justice and end Israeli regime's impunity for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in occupied Palestine and elsewhere.
Chronic procrastination in holding Israel accountable - mainly due to U.S.'s covert/overt obstructions and bullying- has allowed atrocity crimes to persist in occupied Palestine.
Full and immediate implementation of this arrest warrants will test the effectiveness of the international criminal justice.
Hope this late decision would not be manipulated through abuse of process.
