War crimes have been committed in Gaza, punishing people indiscriminately is truly genocide. Irish Foreign Minister
Saturday 23 November 2024
Dublin/London (news international New - 23 November 2024) Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris has said that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the country after the International Court of Justice issues an arrest warrant, he is ready to arrest him. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris responded to a question in this regard during the conversation that yes, absolutely, because we cooperate with the International Court of Justice and we will implement their warrants. He said that Ireland will also implement the warrants issued against Hamas official Mohammed Zeif, while the International Court of Justice did not clarify whether he has been martyred or is alive.
Irish Foreign Minister Michael Martin said that he disagreed with US President Joe Biden's position in calling the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the vigilantes ridiculous. He said that war crimes have been committed in Gaza, and punishing people indiscriminately is truly genocide. It should be noted that Ireland has had bad relations with Israel since recognizing Palestine as a state in May this year, and Israel also recalled its ambassador after this decision. On the other hand, the British government has also made it clear that if the Israeli Prime Minister comes to Britain after the International Court of Justice's decision, he will be arrested. A British government spokesman clarified that Britain is a country that enforces the law and will comply with every decision issued by the courts. He said that the British government will fulfill its legal obligations regarding the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for the Israeli Prime Minister. The spokesman made it clear that if Netanyahu visits the UK, he will not be given any exemption, but will be arrested in accordance with court orders. The statement made it clear that the UK will always comply with its legal obligations. Earlier, the Home Secretary and other Labour Party officials had said that the Israeli Prime Minister will not be arrested under any circumstances.
Meanwhile, Germany has said that it is very difficult to imagine the Israeli Prime Minister being arrested for war crimes. According to the report, German government spokesman Stefan Haberstraat said in his formal response to the issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yvo Gallant in connection with war crimes. We find it very difficult to imagine that their arrests will be made on the basis of a court order.
The German spokesman said that the German government is carefully reviewing the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Netanyahu for war crimes, but it is difficult to say what Germany's next steps may be until a plan for a visit to Germany is revealed. It should be noted that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, had requested the Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister, Uwe Gallant, in May.
