Oh no how unfortunate.
Good.
Might as well let them in, then arrest all EX-IDF who served during the genocide.
The Greek government has shamefully refrained even from the empty rhetorics that the UK and Canada have been publishing. We’re not arresting IDF war criminals.
Not many Israeli are actually wanted by the ICC… IIRC the list is limited to just Netanyahu and Gallant.
Don’t get me wrong, I do hope we will someday have Nuremberg-style trials (minus the hangings, of course) for Israeli crimes against humanity, but I honestly doubt that will ever happen… actually, I doubt anyone (not even Netanyahu and Gallant) will serve even a single day in jail for them.
The whole point behind international institutions is that nations should back them, but nowadays no global superpower recognizes the ICC and all of them (plus a lot of regional powers) are governed by people who either is or would very much like to become an autocrat.
(if you are thinking “what about the EU?”… it’s not a global superpower, basically because it doesn’t want to be one)
You dont need an ICC warrant to arrest people suspected of war crimes. States have an obligation to investigate such crimes even without the ICC involved, when they have reason to believe someone inside their jurisdiction has committed such crimes. This is not limited to their own citizens but anyone inside their jurisdiction.
Ironically the concept of universal jurisdiction also is a result of Israel abducting Adolf Eichmann in Argentinia and bringing him to Jerusalem for prosecuting his crimes as one of the key SS figures behind the Holocaust.
