Afasianet -The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Karim Khan, rejects the Israeli request to suspend the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Galant, as it does not meet the criteria for direct appeal, in accordance with the Rome Statute.

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Karim Khan, asked the First Appeals Chamber to reject Israel's request to suspend the arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the dismissed Minister of Defense, Yoav Galant.

Khan stressed that "the Israeli request does not meet the criteria for direct appeal, in accordance with the Rome Convention."

A few days ago, Israel demanded a reconsideration of the decision of the International Criminal Court on the arrest of Netanyahu and Galant, although it promotes that it does not recognize the court, but the court rejected the request, insisting on the implementation of the two sentences issued against them.

The behind-the-scenes appeal sparked controversy that filing the appeal was in itself a recognition of the court.

The ICC had earlier issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Galant on charges of war crimes committed in Gaza, while Israeli officials commented on the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants, saying the decision was "an unparalleled shame."

Are the ICC's decisions blown by the "veto"?

On the ground , international resolutions are no longer effective on the ground, especially if they are directed against crimes committed by the Zionist entity, especially if the United States of America raises the veto card. Why does the International Criminal Court stand so incapable of implementing its decisions? Why do the power and political arrogance of States prevail over the force of law and the philosophy of its independence?

At a time when blood turns into water and humanity is drowning in the mud of genocide, the major Powers are moving to stand firmly in the face of international resolutions in a provocative manner, which does not reflect a responsibility towards the peoples whose rights have been usurped in broad daylight.

The dream of attachment to international resolutions directed against the Zionist entity and its practices has become a routine bureaucratic act, and it is nothing but laughter on the chins, and a comedy of words that rises in frequency, and then fades to join the list of reports thrown into oblivion.

The dangerous shift that leads the policy of double standards of the international community proves that the philosophy of exceptions is present in the files of the Middle East in a clear way, as international laws are no longer independent and able to hold the wrongdoer accountable, just as is expected in the analytical readings of the Palestinian people's issue as a result of Israeli violations, because the adversary and the rule are one system.

In terms of the path of political excitement, this is not the first time that the idea of holding the leaders of the Zionist entity accountable has escalated, nor is it the first time that the arrest warrants go in the direction of arresting Netanyahu and the dismissed Defense Minister Galant.

It is not the unique case in which the Court relies on reports documenting serious violations of humanitarian law in Palestine, especially Gaza, but it is the first time that there are international divisions, and the desire of the free world to apply the law without discrimination.

The dream of being attached to international resolutions directed against the Zionist entity and its practices has become a routine and bureaucratic act, nothing but laughing on the chins, and a verbal comedy that rises in frequency and then fades to join the list of reports thrown into oblivion. However, hope pushes us to patience and waiting, in the hope that it may bear fruit.

The question that always hits us is the weakness of concrete executive measures to stop the crimes committed on the Palestinian territories, from genocide to settlements to aggression against Gaza, and not ending with mass arrests.

To answer such a question, we must recognize that the nature of the work of the International Criminal Court depends on the extent of international cooperation from member states and the international community, especially if the court is teetering in the veto power granted to it by the great powers.

What is confirmed by the events and the psychological state of Netanyahu indicates that the roads ahead of him are blocked, even if he and his supporters try to defend an old idea called deep state democracy, it will not work, because the papers are exposed and reveal great misfortunes.

Historically, ICC decisions have been blown away by contradictions, as they are no longer only symbolic decisions in their entirety, or selective to the extent that they are imposed on some and distracted from others, which negatively affects their credibility and the effectiveness of their implementation. Therefore, despite the absence of a military force for the court, so to speak, popular and diplomatic forces are the hope of advancing the evidence of the law and moving the waters of stagnant decisions, even partially.

In the other direction, which represents the state of political chaos and military and psychological defeats on some fronts, Netanyahu is living in a state of self-crisis, which confirms his bloody sadism intersecting with the Israeli interior, and therefore the event of the court's decision will increase its mud, and open the deep wound in that crumbling entity, which could not open the prisoners' file, especially after the pressure exerted from within, so what this decision can cause – even partially – falls within the brightness of the voices of the public trial towards what he commits. The usurping entity, and perhaps it is the card that the Palestinian side must reunite with, in exchange for the atrophy of the unified Arab voice.

What is confirmed by events and the psychological state of Netanyahu indicates that the roads in front of him have become blocked, even if he tries with his supporters to defend an old idea called deep state democracy, it will not work, because the papers are exposed and reveal great evils that will stifle the comfort of his government's persistence, represented in obtaining military supplies targeting civilians, to weaken Palestinian unity and perpetuate the sin of a strong state. Is Netanyahu's government between two bitter things?

In the short and long term, the will of the peoples who represent free world opinion does not depend entirely on the impact of the decisions of the international community, but rather strengthens their solidarity as an opportunity to draw attention to Israeli crimes, while human rights organizations can base their orientations on those decisions that lead to exposing repeated violations, and therefore the unification between the two parts of freedom (popular pressure and human rights organizations) will increase pressure on "democratic" governments to change their policies and withdraw support for Israel.

In order for the ICC decisions not to be vetoed, it is necessary to advocate the idea of empowerment through reform of the rules of procedure, the establishment of an executive system supported by the United Nations, and pressure on those who have the veto to sign the Rome Statute.

Within the framework of the map of political balances, the ICC decision will be an opportunity for emerging countries to strengthen their support for the Palestinian cause and change the "bureaucracy" of political dealings as a whole, especially with regard to the Security Council system, which will put the idea of a "veto" in the subject of heated debate, especially if it stands in the face of international justice, and serve as a beginning for countries that seek "change" in the political reality.

The boycott of companies supporting the Zionist entity, which grows like a snowball on the horizon of the global economy, will weigh more heavily on the Israeli interior if the decision proceeds in its legal channels, considering the boycott weapon as an influential factor in the implementation of the decision, especially in the midst of reshaping economic relations, which promote the presence of new allies for the Palestinian cause.

In order for the decisions of the International Criminal Court not to go into the veto, it is necessary to advocate the idea of empowerment through reforming the rules of procedure, establishing an executive system supported by the United Nations, and pressuring those who have the veto resolution to sign the Rome Statute, so that the law proceeds in its course in a normal and non-selective manner, and double standards are avoided in political positions.
