Dutton Calls on PM to Join Biden in Condemning ICC’s Netanyahu Arrest Warrant

The International Criminal Court prosecutor has filed a request for the Israel and Hamas leaders to be charged with war crime violations. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has called on the federal Labor government to condemn the ICC prosecutor for seeking the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The prosecutor, Karim Khan, has applied for the arrest of Mr. Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar for war crimes and human rights violations related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The U.S. President, Joe Biden, criticized the ICC prosecutor for targeting Israeli leaders and emphasized that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Despite the prosecutor’s intentions, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the two sides involved in the conflict. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refrained from commenting on the issue, focusing instead on condemning the terrorist actions of Hamas and advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton expressed support for President Biden’s stance against the ICC’s actions, criticizing Prime Minister Albanese for not taking a stronger stance and potentially harming Australia’s relationships with allies.
