ICC Appeals Court reverses lower court in favor of Israel

The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court on Thursday reversed the November 2024 ruling of the ICC lower court against Israel's jurisdictional objections to the issuing of arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The decision sends the jurisdictional fight back to the ICC lower court to more fully explore Israel's jurisdictional objections to the arrest warrants and to the ICC's intervention into Israel's conduct of the current war in Gaza more generally.

"The decision of the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court in The Hague to order a hearing on Israel's claims that the court lacks jurisdiction to deal with the issue at hand illustrates the injustice done to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the former Minister of Defense, when the court issued ridiculous orders without having the authority to do so," sources close to the prime minister said.

According to the ICC Appeals Court, "Israel’s challenge to the jurisdiction of the Court pursuant to article 19(2) of the Statute should not have been dismissed as premature.

1. Who did Bibi and the Mossad

pay off or threaten w/ harm?????

[Beastly Boy]

4. My guess is the entire Appeals Chamber

It absolutely didn't make sense to only pay off or threaten w/harm just the chief prosecutor, the one person who had the option and the power to not investigate the accusation in the first place, or bribe/threaten the three judges of the pre-trial chamber of ICC. It only made sense to bribe the five judges of the Appeals Chamber.

Sounds logical, no?

2. Someone got paid. Also, if Netanyahu were not accused of war crimes,

Why was he issued an arrest warrant? Also, I would not surprised if Trump paid a lot of money to the ICC, bribery-style. Something seems very suspicious about this.

[Beastly Boy]

5. Why? It's called due process of law.

Something that seems, depending on your slant, very suspicious, or absolutely inseparable from administering justice.

[choie]

9. It sure does depend on slant.

And probably not in the direction you mean.

[Beastly Boy]

10. Seriously? Due process is dependent on slant?

Tell this to the legal professionals whose actions and ethics are bound by due process of law. They will appreciate the joke.

[choie]

15. I know of a very large group of people that

Were illiminatef without due process.

[Beastly Boy]

16. I know a hell of a lot more people who were exterminated without due process.

Their count is in the millions.

[choie]

17. And so we should neglect others who are being eliminated?

I am Jewish and I believe in justice for all people, Jews and Palestinians.

[Beastly Boy]

18. No, we sould not scoff at due process because it wasn't afforded to so many.

That would make us complicit with denying due process to so many, no?

3. Israel does as it pleases and cries "foul!" when you notice

[Beastly Boy]

6. What about the ICC? Are they doing as they please?

After all, this was a decision of the ICC Appeals Chamber, not Israel.

[Bok_Tukalo]

7. Quod erat demonstrandum

[Beastly Boy]

8. You appear do doubt the independence of ICC

from Israel, which is not even a signatory state recognizing ICC's authority.

How do you propose one has to do with the other?

[Bok_Tukalo]

11. You appear to have trouble reading English

I'll give you a pass on the Latin.

[Beastly Boy]

12. You appear to have trouble writing in English.

And i can only guess what your Latin references have to do with anything. I suspect that makes two of us.

[Bok_Tukalo]

13. Now you are just gibbering.

[Beastly Boy]

14. Well, I had to maintain some sort of common ground to remain corteous.

It wasn't easy.
