In this video, Kevork Almassian from Syriana Analysis breaks down the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants issued earlier today against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif of Hamas. He explains how, while a warrant acknowledges violations of international law and warcrimes committed, its enforcement remains highly unlikely due to political dynamics.
Netanyahu is not expected to face arrest in allied nations like the United States or the United Kingdom, which continue to provide diplomatic cover and military assistance to Israel. Almassian also explains how even if Netanyahu were arrested, warcrimes against Palestinians would more than likely persist under new Israeli leadership and notes that sacrificing Netanyahu could serve to protect broader Israeli policies. Watch:
The United States’ continues supporting Israel as the project is a critical tool which serves to maintain U.S. dominance in the Middle East. Israel acts as a “satellite state,” essential to U.S. geopolitical strategy, he claims. Should the Israeli project fail, Washington’s ability to project power, control energy supply lines, secure trade routes, and manage regional rivalries would be severely compromised. Thus, the U.S. sees Israel’s success as indispensable to its hegemonic aspirations in the region.
