| Ryuu96 said: Is there a list of which European countries said they'd arrest Netanyahu and/or accept the verdict and which have said they won't and/or avoided the question? I want to see who actually has a spine and isn't a fucking hypocrite. All those that accepted the Putin warrant must accept the Netanyahu warrant too. They're both scum and I can't wait until the world is rid of them. |
There were reactions from some countries.

Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp confirmed the Netherlands would "act on the arrest warrants."
Belgium's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it supported the work of the ICC "fully" and that "those responsible for crimes committed in Israel and Gaza must be prosecuted at the highest level, regardless of who committed them.”
France's Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to say whether the country would arrest Gallant or Netanyahu but said it would act "in line with the ICC’s statutes.”
Their Austrian counterpart said that warrants were "ludicrous", but that his country would also be forced to implement arrests should Netanyahu and Gallant travel to Austria.
Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Thursday that although it was "wrong" to compare Netanyahu and Gallant to Hamas, if the pair were to enter Italy, "we would have to arrest them".
Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Germany was "examining" how to respond to the court's decision, adding that the country is bound by the court and recognises international law.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán responded that not only would he defy the court, but that he would extend an invitation to Netanyahu to travel to Budapest

These are the countries that are now obliged to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they enter their soil
The US is lost for the next 4 years. Hopefully Borrell can get sanctions through, but will have to get around Germany first :/ Germany is responsible for 30% of the weapon shipments to Israel. The UK mostly provides intelligence (flies reconnaissance flight over Gaza based on information extracted by the IDF under torture, breaking UK laws)
Trump backs staunchly anti-Palestinian Florida lawmaker to run for US Congress
United States President-elect Donald Trump is encouraging a Florida legislator who celebrated the killing of an American citizen by the Israeli military to run for Congress.
Trump said in a social media post on Sunday that if State Senator Randy Fine decides to seek a congressional seat in Florida, the state lawmaker would have his “Complete and Total Endorsement”.
Fine, who has a long history of anti-Muslim statements, sparked outrage earlier this year when he appeared to praise the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US activist who was fatally shot by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank.
“Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerror ist. #FireAway,” Fine wrote in a social media post in September.
Eygi was taking part in a peaceful protest when she was shot.
