Soon after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued its arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the EU’s foreign policy chief issued a reminder.
“These decisions are binding on all states party to the Rome Statute, which includes all EU member states,” Josep Borrell posted on X.
The Israeli prime minister and former defence minister are accused of “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”.
All 124 members of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, are now compelled to arrest the two Israelis and hand them over to the court.
It is likely that both leaders will restrict their travel so as not to be detained – something Russia‘s Vladmir Putin has done since being indicted by the ICC in March last year.
Some member states have previously flouted their obligation: both South Africa and Jordan failed to arrest Omar Hassan al-Bashir when the Sudanese autocrat visited them, drawing the ire of human rights groups and the ICC.
Many of the states that will be compelled to hand over Netanyahu and Gallant are allies of Israel, including the UK, France, Germany and Hungary.
The ICC does not have enforcement powers, instead relying on the cooperation of member states to arrest and surrender suspects.
France and the Netherlands have both already indicated that they would act on the warrants if needed.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
It seems that there are many countries the murdering bastard cannot enter. Hell! Even Madagascar said, “You’re under arrest Netanyahu if you bring your flaming war criminal ass here!” And it would appear that he also cannot bask in the warmth of Barbados and Belize, etc. Fucking good!
