Israel fears ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu over Gaza war

Israel is concerned the International Criminal Court may issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Former Labor MP Michael Danby has joined Sky News host Peta Credlin and Sky News contributor Kosha Gada to discuss whether or not the ICC will issue arrest warrants and what it will mean for the war effort. “This is an out of control agency that has got no evidence and has asked no questions and has not been fair to both sides,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “The international court of justice is a different beast, the Israelis have appeared before that and they have made various statements about Gaza that the South Africans had a right to make an appeal. “They did not say there was proof of genocide, but the international court begins with Israel, it will go to the United States next and it will come to Australia and all the Western democracies. “It’s a terrible idea and both the US and Israel are not signatories to it.”
