International Criminal Court seems determined not to prosecute Israel Leaders for Gaza war crimes: Ex-UN Rapporteur..

Israel and its Leaders must face accountability for their crimes in Gaza, but the current prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) seems determined not to do that at the moment, They must be held accountable for these crimes according to a former UN special rapporteur…

It’s important to stress that the Israeli leadership, Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu, his war Cabinet, and many members of the Israeli army are responsible for the commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity and, possibly, the crime of genocide,” Dugard told Anadolu in an interview.

Dugard stressed that the ICC is the primary institution that “should be used to hold Israelis responsible for their crimes” in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli attacks have now killed almost 18,800 Palestinians and wounded nearly 51,000 more, “Unfortunately, at present, it (ICC) is not being used. The prosecutor of the ICC seems determined not to prosecute Israel and its leaders,” he said.

The current ICC prosecutor is Karim Khan, who has recently faced backlash for accepting an Israeli invitation to see Israeli areas attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, while not being allowed to visit Gaza, The ICC has received multiple cases against Israel for its devastating assault on Gaza, including referrals from countries such as South Africa and groups of lawyer.

He pointed to the US position on the matter and its repeated veto of resolutions calling for a cease-fire, If the UN Security Council decides there should be a cease-fire, “that will bring the war to an end very quickly,” he said, “But I fear that the US will veto any resolution and that the cease-fire will not be ordered by the Security Council,” he added
