The Hind Rajab Foundation called for the arrest of Israeli soldier Gal Ferenbook after identifying him and accusing him of killing civilians in Gaza, where he posted videos boasting about killing Palestinians.
The foundation also urged the Sri Lankan government, the International Criminal Court, and Interpol to take legal action against him for committing war crimes in Gaza.
Law said: “This behaviour suggests that the UK Government has no interest in seeking justice for victims of alleged war crimes and is instead focused on protecting its Israeli allies from facing any accountability.”
“For as long as states such as the UK continue to use these measures to protect those accused of breaches of international law, it will erode trust in itself as a legitimate partner in the international community, and will undermine international humanitarian law it claims to support,” he added.
Since 7 October 2023, Israel has carried out military operations in Gaza that have killed over 45,000 people, displaced virtually the entire Gaza population of 2.3 million, and destroyed large swathes of the strip, including residential buildings and homes, electricity and water infrastructure, mosques, churches, schools, and hospitals, in a bid to make Gaza uninhabitable.
The Front stressed the need to pay attention to the seriousness of this aggressive escalation and the goals it carries, stressing the importance of solidarity among all Syrian components in the face of the Zionist aggression.
The Front also affirms its firm position in confronting the Zionist enemy, which is waging a comprehensive war against the peoples of our Arab nation and the peoples of the region, calling for a unified Arab position in confronting this aggressive and criminal entity.
China firmly supports Palestine in becoming a full UN member and supports the convening of a more broad-based, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference, Xi added.
Xi said that China will continue to work with the international community to end the war and stop the killing, support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in continuing to provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza people, and bring the question of Palestine back to the right track of the two-State solution to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement at an early date.
Regarding the challenges and requests submitted by the Israeli occupation authorities, the Court said that the Chamber received two requests submitted by Israel on 26 September 2024. In the first request, Israel challenged the Court’s jurisdiction over the situation in the State of Palestine in general, and over “Israeli nationals” more specifically, on the basis of Article 19(2) of the Statute. In the second request, Israel requested the Chamber to order the Prosecution to submit a new notification of the commencement of an investigation to its authorities under Article 18(1) of the Statute. Israel also requested the Chamber to stay any proceedings before the Court in the relevant situation, including the consideration of the requests for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant.
Khan reiterated that “the law is for everyone,” stressing that the ICC’s role is to protect the rights of all individuals. He noted that the independent decision of the judges affirmed the importance of upholding international humanitarian law through fair and impartial judicial processes.
“These requests were made after an independent investigation, based on verifiable and objective evidence, thoroughly examined in a judicial process,” Khan stated.
He continued, “I call on all states parties to the Rome Statute to fulfill their obligations by respecting and complying with these judicial orders. We also look forward to the cooperation of non-party states in advancing accountability and supporting international law.”
The ICC Prosecutor also confirmed that his office continues its “independent and impartial investigations into the situation in the State of Palestine,” with a focus on areas under ICC jurisdiction, including Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
