Israel’s Channel 12 revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fears that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague will issue orders to arrest him and other officials due to violations in the war on Gaza.

The channel revealed that an urgent discussion took place on Tuesday at the Prime Minister’s Office that has remained confidential until now, in which worrying scenarios and serious concerns emerged that would allow the issuance of international arrest warrants from ICC in The Hague against senior Israeli officials, security leaders and politicians, including Netanyahu himself.

It reported that the highest political and legal elite in Israel were present at the discussion. The Israeli channel noted that the reason for issuing international arrest warrants was the war in Gaza.

    Prior to Palestinians voting Hamas into power, 61% of Israelis supported a two-state solution. Netanyahu and the far-right minority in power refused.

    It dropped to 25% once Hamas took power by force.

    It dropped to 13% after the October 7th attack.

    The average Israeli doesn’t want war. They don’t trust Hamas or, now, Netanyahu. Don’t speak about what you don’t know.
