The head of EU diplomacy emphasized that this decision was “not political”, and that the decision of the courts should be respected.
EU countries are required to comply with the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This decision is not just “political,” EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said during a visit to Jordan, Europa Press reports.
“This is not a political decision, it is a decision of an international court and the court’s decisions must be respected and implemented,” he said.
According to him, the court’s decision regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Yoav Galant is “binding” for EU countries, because they are members of the ICC.
The tragedy in the Gaza Strip must end and the international community must step forward to deal with the “apocalyptic situation.”
As you know, in May of this year it became known that ICC prosecutor Karim Khan asked the Pre-Trial Chamber to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, as well as three Hamas leaders in the war crimes case.
The ICC in The Hague has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
