5:02 am
and that accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. nothing. yahoo says it's a complete distortion of reality. us presidential by them is calling it outrages. the icbc prosecutor also wants a rest. walden's for 3 senior homeless liters for the october 7th attack in southern israel. a move that's being done by how those are some of these are very begins are coverage. c solving children is a trying, the killing civilians is a war crime. and bill for the causing suffering is also a criminal act. those are the top 3 reasons. the prosecutor of the international criminal court has cited for requesting at restaurants for these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defense minister golf kalonde. reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office that he's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a minister of defense you,
5:03 am
i've got back criminal responsibility for the following. international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine. several is really ministers, have denounced the allegations are full of crimes and crimes against humanity. before the minister is ready costs, it says it's a historic disgrace. and that especially the board room has been set up to counteract the decision. but not everyone agrees is what i really gain to text. it says, was this war of the whole, very because of december. and the whole debate is against us any to unite the game . these very easy to very nation, at least still even more nation is there's a way that everyone receives. so just and such a victim by the evil decision, i think it's adjusted. this is the icpc. prosecutors also seeking the rest warrants for from us political and been if you need to explain honey yes. and bar involvement they've that are reasonable grounds to believe that these 3 how much
5:04 am
lead has a criminal you're responsible for the killing of these really civilians in a textbook to try to buy a mess. and i'm groups on the 7th of october 2023. the palestinian group says the arrest warrants for nothing. yahoo and kalonde a several months too late. and rather than equating the victim, but the perpetrator, i c. c, should or did the rest of all occupation officials gave orders and the soldiers who carried out the crimes. if we want to be honest, we should be looking at what it is that the government is really government has been doing the orders that it has it issued to its soldiers and it issued orders to its soldiers to carry out a genocide. if this court is to have any credibility, it should be going after the people were committing genocide, rather than just simply trying to play this game of both sides. for months, the i c. c. prosecute to face criticism of the conduct in god's unfolded cream hunts. critics, even of the un security council, criticize what they saw as an action to hold is rather comfortable. ceasefire
5:05 am
a ceasefire. israel's allies, including the united states, mostly expressed anger. i had to mondays, i cc announcement target israel and we will talk to you that a warning letter from it doesn't us republican senators, the trenton to cut funding and sanctioned i c. c stuff and their families. this is, bill is a today in the me, a talk over the rest within is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the war which has killed more than 35000 continues and displaced millions more since october. so i'm a jobby over there. okay. i wanna walk you through the next few steps and the i c. c. process. an application is made to the courts pre trial chamber to decide whether sufficient grounds of jurisdiction exist. now, if the arrest ones are issued, suspects can voluntarily surrender to the i. c. c, r, countries that have signed up to the wrong statute have an obligation to arrest them
5:06 am
. if i pretended a hearing is going to be held to decide if there's enough evidence to go to trial. if the case proceeds, 3 trial judges will per side, and the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. judges can then issue sentences of up to 13 years in prison and even life sentences in exceptional cases. that step bottom is that the hague and she explains what the prosecutors bid means for international law. and the court. after months of pressure from all sides on the international criminal court, the prosecutor here has made a major announcement with the rest of organs that he's requesting. now, the icbc is embarking on an unprecedented join. and, and one of the most high profile cases that ever had since it's the establishment in 2002, despite all the pressure coming from the united states, for example. and also criticism for from countries like germany who are wondering if the court has the jurisdiction to prosecute the has decided to go ahead with
5:07 am
this case. what will now happened is that the pre trial chamber judges would have to decide if the request for the arrest warrants all valid. so that will definitely also add the jurisdiction of the court. and we know that since 2021, this court has decided that this can a rule over cases that happen crime. so it has been committed in the palestinian territories, although it's route, it's not a signatory of their own statute. so these charges will have to decide, probably within a few weeks, what then happens if they really decide to issue these arrest warrants than the $124.00 members of will have signatories assigned to the wrong set. you will have to arrest these people when they come into the countries and have to transfer them to the hague, where they will be detained and will be put on trial. i have to know though, that the country select the united states. china is route, for example,
5:08 am
on not the signal tree. so in these countries they don't have that same obligation, but still, this is a very significant 1st step. and it's very prominent case stuff. awesome al, jazeera, the hague, or the start was just mentioning israel's not a signature to the wrong statute, but it's also not a member of the i c, c. and israel's lead is don't face eminent arrest bots. they say the prosecutors decision is disgraceful. not to submit a homage, andrew has more about benjamin netanyahu, whose coalition has bind. i'll just data from reporting from inside israel. some of them is talking to us from amman and jordan. the outrage across the is really political spectrum of the announcement that international criminal court, cheap prosecutor cutting pond and seeking arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin it's in yahoo is really defense ministry walk a lot as well as 3 i'm us. leaders is really prime minister netanyahu declaring that he rejects with disgust the comparison between israel and how much here's more
5:09 am
of what and it's, and you also have to say, well, absolutely about should condition that the, this absurd and deceitful warrant of the persecution in the hague is aimed and also on the against israel is prime minister and defense minister was against the entire states. if is right off, it is against the idea of soldiers who are fighting with the utmost bravery against the vile murder was of a month who attacked us with ring dispute tell it to you on october 7th, the prosecutor in the haines with was odessa to do you did compare between the how much monsters and the soldiers of the id, if the world's most of tomorrow, at a time of such deep political polarization is really at a time when there's so many divisions across the political landscape. what we heard throughout the day after the announcement from the i c. c was very much a common refrain, very much echoing, but we also heard from that's in yahoo for example. you had war cabinet member of any gap, scammer israeli defense minister. and he tweeted that to equate israel and how much
5:10 am
was moral blindness. we also saw a tweet from the opposition leader in israel. yeah, your la pete in that tweet, pete said. the icpc arrest warrants are a complete moral failure. we cannot accept the outrages comparison between us and yahoo, instant war between the leaders of israel and the leaders of how much. we also saw a tweet from israeli president issac hertzog, who in a late fee statement set, among other things. the announcement of the prosecutor at the i c. c is beyond outrages and shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing. we will not forget our hostages, whose they for turn, should be the main concern of the international community. we expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly rejected. beyond that, we also saw a lot of quotes from named is really political officials throughout these really media landscape throughout the day. calling the announcement from the i c. c,
5:11 am
hypocritical, saying that it was embarrassing on an international level that it was disgraceful that it was insolent. what we know is that there are top legal scholars in israel, as well as members of the national security council and the foreign ministry that are all meeting they have set up a war room to try to figure out how to deal with all this going forward. how much i'm doing with 0. i'm not even missing out who's also facing pressure on israel sweets from anti government protesters. the most reason demonstrate is body that inside the connect. so that games connect them. yeah. whose government police have use was a cannon to discuss the crowd. they've been calling on the government to reach a deal with hom, us to return captives held in guy. so let's bring it in. the events mocking jewish american heritage month of the white house. the us president strongly defended israel, directly rebuking the icing, seized decision over what's happening in gaza. maybe claire,
5:12 am
reject the i. c. she's application arrest warrant. you get rid of these words by apply. there's no privilege between israel and i'm off. it's clear because it was all, do all it can to ensure a civilian protection. but let me be clear, concert allegations against israel made by the national court of justice. what's happening is not genocide. reject the raleigh stand with this room is and threats against a secured. so in the often, lots of the i, c c chief prosecutor is moved to pursue a ras. one is for is really and how much data is most on box it or is the un remain tight lipped if any questions on the contentious issue. but some diplomatic voices are stressing the importance of respecting the independence of the legal process.
5:13 am
obviously it is gabriel alexander reports in the un headquarters in new york to see your un headquarters. most ambassadors did not want a comment about the i c c decision. as one said, it's like a hot potato that nobody really wants to touch right now. we spent all day trying to talk to investors even asking them questions as you went in and out of security council meetings. but in almost all instances, our questions were ignored. now, most countries clearly want to let the judicial process play out. and that was the sentiment echoed by motors, ambassador to the un, which is a member of the security council. please stop. what did you did? should institutions of united nations. and we think we believe very much in their impartiality and their independence and they should be allowed to carry out the way and independently without any threats and through the process. go for those who
5:14 am
need to defend, no, says everything else has been cool. crisis. so for us is also about who is invited through the is about the independent from the course. there is a sense here of us double standards and people point to march of last year when the i c. c issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir, put in for alleged war crimes in ukraine at the time the us and other western countries mostly applauded that decision by the i c. c. but now, when the icpc closes in on arrest warrants for is really officials the us cause it outrages gabriel's under how does the to united nations in new york, members of the united nations security council, have called in israel to cease it's offensive in rafa more than $800.00 sizes and pontiff stand in so flat as is ready for us as long as you're sold some of the southern city. i'll just say it is kristen. so it only has more from un
