Spain announces probe into alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza
The Spanish government will support the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
Attorney General Alvaro Garcia Ortiz said a probe will determine if “serious violations” of international law have taken place in Gaza during Israel’s nearly two-year war on the Strip, his office said in a statement.
The investigation aims to respond to a UN inquiry that accused Israel of genocide in Gaza earlier this week. It asked UN member states to cooperate with the ICC in gathering and preserving evidence.
In November 2024, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. It also issued arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders who were later killed by Israel.
UK ‘carefully considering’ UN genocide report on Gaza: Minister
The UK is “carefully considering” the report published by a UN inquiry this week accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, Jenny Chapman, Britain’s international development minister, has told the House of Lords.
Chapman, in response to a question posed by Baroness Margaret Ritchie, said the report would “be taken into account in the regular assessments made by the government of the compliance with international law by Israel in Gaza”.
Chapman added that the government believed it was for relevant national and international courts to determine genocide. “We will respect the decision of any competent court,” she said.
UK denying genocide, playing the waiting game in violation of the conventions for prevention of genocide.
