The Israeli National Security Council held secret discussions on the possibility of issuing international arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, a local media outlet reported Wednesday.
Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the discussions took place “in anticipation of the possibility of international arrest warrants being issued in the coming days against senior officials in Israel.”
“According to the information and indications available to senior officials in Israel, there is a possibility that the International Criminal Court in The Hague will issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Halevi,” the channel added.
It said that as part of the discussions, several immediate measures were approved for Israel to take in response to this potential move, including “launching a political campaign” at the international level against it.
The channel revealed that Netanyahu would hold talks later Wednesday with his counterparts from the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Austria as part of efforts to hinder the potential step.
Meanwhile, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Israel’s ambassador to the US, Michael Herzog, would contact the US Congress and President Joe Biden’s administration.
The channel cited unnamed senior Israeli officials as saying that if this step were taken, it brings to mind the measures taken against Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, in light of the war it has been waging against Ukraine since February 2022.
The officials added that the International Criminal Court is expected to focus on “policy makers rather than low-ranking soldiers” in the arrest warrants.
In this context, Israel’s political-security Cabinet is scheduled to hold a meeting Thursday which is expected to address the issue of potential arrest warrants, according to the private broadcaster.
Last Friday, Israel’s private Channel 12 reported that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing international arrest warrants in the near future against Netanyahu and other senior officials for committing “war crimes” against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
At the time, the channel said that Netanyahu urgently met with Strategic Affairs Minister Dermer, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Affairs Minister Israel Katz to discuss the matter and appeal to Western allies for assistance.
Israel has launched a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed nearly 1,200 people.
More than 34,200 Palestinians have since been killed and 77,200 others injured amid a tight siege imposed by Israel, which left the entire population, especially residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.
More than six months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins, pushing 85% of the enclave’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine, according to the UN.

Failing that a “no fly” zone over Israel might be appropriate.
That is not enough, my friend, obliteration of that enclave is mandatory for the good of Palestine and the world. Additionally, we must understand that the two state “solution’ is an impossible dream that can never happen. Can you imagine a Palestine nation with the right to return for the many millions of exiled Palestinians just in the Middle East, plus the right to have its own armed forces equipped by Russia, China, and North Korea with the latest weapons available?. Additionally, the new country would be swimming in riches from offshore oil and gas resources. That will never happen anyway, the best alternative is to erase the Zionist entity from the map.
Avec toute la puissance occidentale , 3 droit de véto à l’ONU, Israël n’ a rien à craindre non sauf si la peur a changé de camp et l’Occident est devenu un tigre de papier
Scrd, I’ve recently heard credible analysts who, like you, believe Russia is making a big mistake by not crushing Ukraine. They believe Russia has placed themselves in a precarious situation. War is war and Russia of all countries should have treated their incursion into Ukraine as war because that’s what it is. Their incursion into Ukraine should have been finished several months ago.
In fact brother Woopy the reality and background of that saga is much worse.
Yanucovych’s Intelligence Services learn about the US plot in advance and beg Putin to intervene, suggestion that was rejected. That cost initially 14 thousand Russians in the Donbass plus the massacre in Odessa where people were set on fire inside a Union local right after the coup. As if that was not enough, it took eight years for Russia to start very mildly to clean up the Nazi cesspool. That happened due to Putin’s blind commitment to the capitalist regime scourge. Fortunately, this tragedy has served a noble purpose since Putin, had no choice that to abandon his crazy illusions of partnership with the powers intent on dismantling and destroying Russia.
Please remember, that the Communist Party is the second in the polls and they will probably have a future chance of going back to Russia’s roots without the anomalies and mistakes of the past. Besides, I took the time to learn about Capitalist Russia’s regime. In fact, even after traitors Gorbachev and even more Boris Yeltsin, Russia NEVER completely privatized industries (particularly military production) not to mention natural resources that remained in the hands of the state, a process still in place and increased by semi traitor Putin. I found that out simply by following the composition of the companies and ownership of them. So by the marvelous actions of America and the West vassals, Russia is just one simple step away from going back to a better and more powerful country than ever, but under a just regime free from the power of elites and oligarchs. There is no other alternative to capitalism, none.
Everything that has happened since early in the last century is due to this hideous monster regime.
Russia’s incursion into Ukraine should have been finished two months after it started. They made many huge blunders, such as invading Kharkov initially, as well as not putting the Donbass militias in charge. The Kremlin should listen to patriots like Igor Strelkov, instead of imprisoning them.
Again, we get to read about ‘the October 7th attack by Hamas which killed 1,200 people’. Something new, though: ‘More than 34,200 Palestinians have since been killed in a tight
siege imposed by Israel…’. Those 34,200 were in Gaza alone – an area 1/10 the size of my California county. Calling Israel’s siege ‘tight’ suggests deception on the author’s part.
The future of war criminal Netanyahu, is inconsequential since he is a current leader of the Zionist entity, supported by the majority of the country’s population. In the event that he ends up apprehended and tried for illegal practices, it will not change the spirit and nature of this country’s policies or its leaders. No matter who’s in charge, Israel and Zionism are a menace to civilized society that has to be permanently neutralized. So it will be.
To arrest or even punish Netanyahu would be a symbolic gesture at best. He is simply a mouth piece for the current Mafia and will be replaced with another just like him.
This is not an ordinary Mafia; the Zionist Mafia is a globe-spanning entity of unprecedented reach and power, comprised of both Jews and their Shabbos goy enablers. Israel and Netanyahu are merely the tip of a colossal iceberg. This cabal threatening the world is akin to a seven-headed hydra with a dozen tentacles all working in unison to swindle, deceive, and, if necessary, destroy anything that gets in its way! The world has allowed it to become too powerful and a positive outcome may not be possible. As much as I’d love to see Bibi arrested and punished, I’m painfully aware that this will not come close to removing the existential threat facing the world. That said, I’d still love to see the bastard arrested and charged with war crimes!
Israel will definitely be neutralized ten years from now when all the traumatized Gaza children grow up and kill every Israeli in existence.
It was always said how Jews control our MSM is an antisemitic trope.
Media coverage of the Israeli Gaza MASSACRE shows that may be True.
The Powerful FEW in their POWER BUBBLES obviously don’t see it, but the Powerless Commoners can see it for what it is on TV.
Cynical self-serving Netanyahu changed the Media coverage of the Gaza Massacre, especially after the World’s outrage at Israel’s targeted destruction of the World Central Kitchen Aid Convoy!
What better way to change the World’s attention than to violate another International Law by Israel’s ACT OR WAR against Iran by attacking for the 1st Time, their Sovereign Diplomatic Territory in Damascus.
Obviously Netanyahu’s intention was to EXPAND the Gaza Massacre and ESCALATE the Conflict to inflame the whole Missile Middle-East, contrary to the desires expressed in the Public Statements by US Western Leaders in their POWER BUBBLES.
Netanyahu killed both the WCK Aid Workers, and ESCALATED the Fears and Tensions of the World outside of the Missile Middle East, by his ACT OF WAR against Iran on April 1st ALL FOOLS DAY 2024, portending ARMAGEDDON is closer than most dare think. US Western Politicians give him a pass on all of that!

At this writing there is only a TRUCE between Iran and Israel. Unforeseen circumstances can change that Status with an unexpected incident within minutes.
The OSCE was set up by Minsk II in 2015 to monitor TRUCE VIOLATIONS between the Ukraine Government and the Russian speaking Civilian Majority bordering Russia who rejected the 2014 US/CIA Regime Change of the Russian Friendly government they voted for. From 2015 to 2022 over 14,000 Russian speaking Ukrainians were killed by the Ukraine government.
In the week BEFORE February 24, 2022, there were up to 2000 TRUCE VIOLATIONS a DAY between the Ukraine government and the Russian speaking Ukrainians in the East. The WAR already started BEFORE the February 24 Russian SMO to stop it.
“It was always said how Jews control our MSM is an antisemitic trope.”
Zionist Jews do control the MSM amongst other things; that is a FACT, it is not an “antisemitic trope.” The real trope is the Jews and their Shabbos goy collaborators saying it’s an “antisemitic trope” every time someone dares to point out the ugly truth…and they say it every time, without fail!
Like to all since the ‘like’ button does not function.
This Hell on Earth for all Palestinians could be stopped in five minutes. All it would take is for America to give Bibi a phone call that states: “No more money for Israel. No more guns, ammo and planes. No more white phosphorous. We do not support your genocide on the Palestinian Nation and its people.”
There are many reasons to understand and justify America’s support for Israel and its current or future leader. I repeat again, Netanyahu is not the problem, but what he represents. After all, you don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist as Mr. Biden told us, and he is 100% correct. As for America and the world’s elites, Israel is an advanced geopolitical stronghold in a vital area of interest for many reasons. It is the main location of oil world resources besides Russia, and also powerful countries like Iran that must be kept in check at all costs for the same reasons mentioned above.
Too bad that that oil actually belongs to Palestine.
Too bad? And all the gas fields that belong to Palestine…now being pilfered by the West (a.k.a. USA)? Shame on you.
She is trying to say that temporarily, those resources are being stolen by the West.
But as soon as the Zionist entity is erased from the map, it will come under Palestinian control.
ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN AS “WHO” IN USA WOULD DO THAT .. PRESIDENT ?? NO CHANCE NO WAY.. IT NEEDS INTEGRITY, MORALITY & ETHICS AS THE MAIN TORCH OF LIGHT, WHICH IS MISSING. HE WOULD BE REMOVED BEFORE SUNSET OF THE SAME DAY. THATS WHY JOE BYE-THEN HIMSELF STATED, HE IS A CHRISTIAN ZIONIST.. JUST FOR HIM TO STAY IN POWER & RULE OVER 300 MILLION AMERICANS. WAIT TILL ELECTIONS, EVEN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WOULD BE DANCING & SINGING TO ZIONIST MUSIC..;
Not even in my wildest dream(s) would this ever happen. Pity.
Best news in a long time.
Thank you Tom.
The risk is always that Netanyahu’s imprisonment for genocide would give credence to the meme that evil has been dealt with, the guilty punished and international law and order has prevailed. Meanwhile the land theft throughout Palestine by Israel will continue; the root causes not having been addressed yet again because the US does not want that.
Biden’s “Decisive Decade” to “win the 21st century” —–> the different fronts of this same war for Full Spectrum Dominance are only in their beginning stages.
—– ATACM missiles now sent to Ukraine. US/NATO war against Russia in Ukraines will not be winding down. (Putin shoulda’ laid the hammer down last year to chase out Ukie and US Nazis.)
——–As an Israeli minister just commented—-> ‘Rafah, Hezbollah, then Iran”. US/Israel in tight coordination to leverage Gaza genocide as cover/pretext to expand into a ME regional war. Iran is ‘leftover’ business from 20 yrs. ago.
——- $8 billion just sent to Taiwan to help with preparation for conflict with China.
These are the desperate last gasps of an empire in decline. The US has only militarism to shore up its loss of economic and diplomatic influence. —ain’t gonna work.
