Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a slew of charges at the International Criminal Court in the Hague after Turkey filed a lawsuit accusing him of “crimes such as war, genocide and a crime against humanity in full view of the world.”
The former lawmaker of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party, Metin Kulunk, and Turkish attorneys Mucahit Birinci and Burak Bekiroglu sent the petition to the Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office asking it to file a lawsuit against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court, the Anadolu news agency reported.
The petition said that Netanyahu “has committed crimes such as war, genocide and a crime against humanity in full view of the world.” It also said that “Netanyahu does not hesitate to use weapons prohibited by international law in what could constitute crimes.”
The petition stated that “Netanyahu and his associates should be brought before the International Criminal Court under international criminal norms.”
Ankara has not officially commented on the petition. Turkey has repeatedly declared its readiness to act as a guarantor in the settlement of the conflict between Israel and Hamas and proposed holding an international peace conference.
The situation in the Middle East sharply escalated following an incursion of Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip into Israel on October 7.
Hamas regards the attack as a response to Israeli actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Israel has declared a complete siege of the Gaza Strip and has started delivering strikes on that area and parts of Lebanon and Syria.
Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank as the situation rapidly escalates towards a wider conflict.

Hostilities have been brewing since the Abrahamaic religions split off into branches of monotheism. Which part is “quick”? When a volcano erupts, it may seem sudden, but it builds up forces underground before the top blows off.

I believe the fact Netanyahu is a psychotic, butchering, bastard is the reason for Erdogan’s charge against him!

As long as Netanyahu is head of state in Israel, he will be a target of anyone opposed to Israel’s activities. As long as the US supports Israel’s, or anyone else’s internal conflicts, the US is complicit in one side or the other.

According to my understanding of history, Katherine, Zionism first originated in the British Foreign Office to protect the Suez Canal and to prevent a pan-Arab movement from controlling the oil market. Israel will continue to exist only so long as it continues to serve Anglo/American interests.

It doesn’t surprise me. I believe the Brits and the French wanted that short route to the East. The Suez Canal is in a strategic location, part of the reason the Gaza strip is so hotly contested now.
I gather Zionism represents an extreme faction of Jewish interests, but the Communists, including those you have profiled recently, were also Jews, and the Rothschilds have been involved for centuries.

Papasha408, I believe Netanyahu is just as much a puppet as Zelensky is. The only difference is he doesn’t wear high heels or play the piano with his penis.

A puppet to who. The reason I ask is his current actions are not beneficial to American interests.

The wars in Israel and Ukraine are both immensely profitable to the multinational corporations that manufacture armaments. I also believe the petroleum lobby strongly supports the war in the Middle East. They are very worried about the growing alliance between Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China and Russia.

I believe the current massacres in Gaza can be counter-productive to both Israel and America. Over-reach does have it’s limits before public opinion turns you into a pariah!

That was my reaction, Trace. And I didn’t expect that Turkey would file the ICC charges.
