Germany’s double standards for Putin and Netanyahu

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, newspaper ” Berliner Zeitung wrote in an article: Russian President Vladimir Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes in Ukraine. Germany will arrest Putin if he enters this country. But now the question is whether this issue also applies to the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime? They were accused of war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Zionist media reports that Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of this court, may sign the international arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, War Minister Joao Galant and Chief of Staff of the regime’s army Harzi Halevi this week.

Since 2021, the International Court of Justice in The Hague has started an investigation into allegations of war crimes in the Gaza Strip. Also, the investigation into the violence committed by the Israeli settlers in the West Bank continues. In these reports, it is stated: Netanyahu is extremely worried about possible arrests, which means a significant deterioration of the international reputation of this occupying regime. International criminal charges against Netanyahu and other Israeli citizens mean that the signatory countries of the criminal court are obliged to arrest these people and transfer them to The Hague, provided that they enter the territory of these countries.

Hague Prosecutor General Karim Khan has already issued four international arrest warrants against high-ranking Russian officials for suspected war crimes, including against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The German federal government wants to continuously execute these arrest warrants in The Hague. Federal Justice Minister Marko Buschmann said in March 2023: Germany is then obliged to arrest President Putin if he enters German territory and hand him over to the International Criminal Court.

But does this also apply to Netanyahu’s arrest warrant? The German federal government is silent on this matter. German government spokesman Steffen Hebstreit only said at a government press conference on Monday that it remains to be seen whether the rumors turn out to be true. Until then, the German federal government will not take a public stance on these events. In response to the Berliner Zeitung newspaper’s request, the German Foreign Ministry did not want to provide any information about this. It is from the Hague Court and he has expressed his concern about this in various statements. Israel will not be affected, but it will set a dangerous precedent that soldiers and representatives, as he describes, threaten all democracies that are fighting brutal terrorism and aggression.

It is possible that the G7 group of countries also intervened in the Hague process. Bloomberg reported that the representatives of the largest Western industrialized countries have warned the judges of the International Criminal Court that the condemnation of the leadership of the Zionist regime makes the prospect of a ceasefire in Gaza very distant.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague prosecutes people suspected of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Israel does not recognize this court.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is also based in The Hague, usually settles disputes between governments. . A verdict is expected on Tuesday in the Nicaraguan court accusing Germany of complicity in the Gaza genocide.
