the. ringback the, the international criminal court issues arrest warrants for israel's prime minister and his former defense minister for war crimes in gaza. israel condemned the decision as absurd and anti semitic the. i'm sort of any age good to have you with us. this is angela 0 live from the also coming up, the use foreign policy chief says the court must be respected, end of the warrants are binding to all member states of the i. c. c. there is no let up in israel's attacks on gaza neighborhoods in the northern guys. a city, a targeted 22 palestinians have been killed. and ukraine accuses rush of firing an

intercontinental ballistic messiah for the 1st time since the war began. the so we start with our special coverage of the developing news from the hague in the netherlands, where the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and his former defense minister, you'll have kalonde for war crimes in gaza. netanyahu called the decision empty, semitic, and ridiculous. the court is accusing that, you know, who, if using starvation as a weapon of war, depriving causes civilian population of every basic necessity, including food, water, medicine, and fuel. it also charges these really leader with crimes against humanity, including murder persecution, and in humane acts, the i see, see who's also issued an arrest warrant for how most commander known as mohammed dave, who israel says it killed in an air strike in gaza in july. but that has not been

confirmed. it will now be up to the courts, $124.00 member states to enforce the arrest warrants. all of this coming after 412 days of israel's genocide in the gaza strip. it's military has now killed more than 44000 palestinians and wounded more than a 104200 people since the war began. more than a year ago. most of the victims have been women and children who are standing by in a mind where the reaction from israel 1st though, let's go to step boston, who's lived from the hay in the netherlands step. what is the next step now that these arrest warrants have been issued? what happens? well, these are rest. florence will now be handed over to all the member states of the i, c, c 125. now including the, the late dismember ukraine and then all these countries have a legal obligation to detain those individuals that are,

these arrest warrants are issued against. so this is of a real obligation. they have subscribe to the rome statute, but i have to say that that doesn't always happen. we have to remember the case of against the russian tests and slide him a foot. and that was an arrest worth against him. a one and a half years ago. but then he traveled to mongolia and literally i decided not to arrest him. but there are countries, for example, already announcing that they will uh follow these uh, regulations like could then abilene's also the you for on policy chief joseph barrow has arched all countries so, so inside the you to follow their obligation. so that will be a big chance that they're of course, in countries like the netherlands to germany, the u. k. as will be very difficult for profit for pass a problem into samantha. you all to travel to. and i'm also joined here now by the palestinian and best of the to the

a lens who is visiting the itc in this very remarkable moment. and i want to ask him that is feeling the 6 months now since these you have request for a rest for an issue. what is your 1st reaction? well, my 1st reaction is that for this long waited for decisions that you know during the period that serious money for this thing is life. what taken that destruction more starvation and more oppressive actions turning on behavior by the radio proficient whatsoever people on the list, it is important that these decisions today have been issue. it is important that today the membership of the i c. c. the 123 states within the i, c, c, are not responsible to effectuate this decision to account when, when they deal with, without the patient. we know it's been

a long delay to have been lots of threats and intimidation, also towards the eyes to see how worried are you that this whole trial that is now going to evolve health if that can happen impartially and safely? well, we believe in, in, in the courts done, this is why we brought our case before then we'd be lease in the system. it's an actual system that is based on, on, on, on low and based on the accountability and based on the problem itself. and that again, so this is why we resulted through this course on this is why that is also designed to jim. this is why we keep resorting the security council because we are to believe was yes, we paid the loss of, of, of, of blood and done that. he had a lot of suffering during the, the past, the 76 years of, of the history of this. i'm not sure the system, but we never lost hope and humanity. and we believe that these kinds of pressures would not to use done the results. they will only expose those who don't stand in

the right in the side, the fried. and also all the things that might is right, and they will fail at the end of the day because the arm of justice is long enough to catch up with the criminals and, and also of your life violates international. thank you so much. i'm back to the i'm, are he chassis for you a quick response. a the rooms statute of the i c c. a says that the only suspects who are actually at the, the, the have who are, has been detained, can be brought to trial. so it's very essential for the i to see, to actually make sure that these arrests will take place. there's an exception for the free trial chain. but when the charges are laid out before the actual trial, it's essential that the suspects will be here in the hague. step bass, i'm reporting from the hague just outside the i. c. c. thank you very much for that interview with the policy and in bass that are there. so there's been reaction from several of the top is really officials this start with these really presidents

isaac kurtz on he said the arrest warrants and then yeah, when the launch is quote, an absurd decision. next foreign minister, gideon sar, he said the i c. c has lost all legitimacy with what he called the absurd ruling and opposition leader. yeah. your la p and said that the arrest warrants are a reward for terrorism houses here as homeless. so who joins us now from jordan's capital a month. that is because the is really government has been belcher 0 from reporting and israel and the occupied westbank. so honda, we've given some of the reaction already obviously from netanyahu, from the president, from his foreign minister. notably, also from the opposition completely in line with the government on this can you, i mean you were reporting from within israel until not that long ago. can you give us a sense of just how, how this is going to land in israel? well the is really prime minister's office, releasing a statement, but no surprises within it. the or sly and actually called the international

criminal court. and he submitted going on to say that these are unjust decisions. these arrest warrants have no sort of basis or backing to them whatsoever. and it ends by saying that israel is fighting a just war and will continue to do so until all of its military objectives are achieved. i'll remind our viewers that this has been a war with little to no military achievements, 13 months later, israel has still not secured any of the 3 goals that it set out to. now when it comes to these rules, opposition, look, these are nets. and y'all, whose political arrivals, these are people who have been calling for nothing. y'all to be removed as the prime minister, because they say his leadership has failed the country entirely. and that was even before the war. and it had only escalated since the war began in the last 13 months . so we are seeing a consensus across these really political while, including members of the opposition who are slamming best. they're not going so far as to call it in to some medic,

like the rest of netanyahu's coalition and the premier himself. but they are saying that this is a dark day for israel saying that it's also a dark day for the world saying it's hypocritical. and that this type of measure should have never been taken in the 1st place because israel was attacked on october the 7th, but there's been no surprises whatsoever in these statements. but i want to point to 2 statements from mentioned y'all whose government, the finance minister and the national security minister horse, singling out the palestinian authority. it's a more bend. we're the national security minister said that there should be sanctions on what he called the quote terrorist authority referring to the p. a. spencer, that smelt rich said that there should be so many sanctions that lead to the palestinian authorities, ultimate collapse. but there should be more settlements, but there should be sovereignty exerted over everywhere within the occupied westbank. so again, this is not a surprise because this is the rhetoric we have been seeing for him is really official. since the news of these arrest warrants was floated 6 months ago, now,

i'll just highlight what you just said about ben, give you his reaction there, cuz i noticed it too. he said quote, the response to warrants should be to impose sovereignty is really sovereignty. that is over all areas of the west bank and quote, okay, you've also got reaction not only where you are in jordan from georgia and you and authorities. but also from that you use top diplomat who is in your neck of the woods at the moment. that's right, joseph burrell, on a 2 day trip to jordan. and today in a joint press conference with the jordanian for administer. and his stuff of the he said that this was not a political decision that this was taken based on evidence compiled by international criminal prosecutors who came to this conclusion 1st, when they wanted to recommend these arrest warrants. and finally, when the arrest warrants were issued, he said that this is now binding in all of the european union. take a listen. the decision though, because it has to be respected and implemented. so i take note

of the decision of the international criminal court to issue a rest squadrons from prime minister anything yahoo? the former, i mean you're still defending mister allen under how i should either state this decision is a binding decision on all state. all the states bought a piece of the court this which includes on members of the union on binding this lemon discard decision and the decision was, welcomes by the jordanian for administer. i'm going to suffer the who also reiterated that this is binding should be implemented and that the palestinian people deserve justice 0. i'm no so hoot reporting from amman. jordan, thank you very much. how much says welcome to the i c. c. 's move,

quoting is really prime minister and former defense minister, you're off the lot terrorists in a statement. the group said that the arrest warrant is an important historical precedent and a correction to a long path of historical injustice against palestinians. ass cold on the icy c to expand the scope of its warrants to include all of israel's leaders and ministers who have been involved in killing palestinians. it goes on to say that is really leaders have subjective palestinians to the most heinous act of killing terrorism. and starvation known to modern history and the last hour we, we've also had more reaction from washington. so let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how could kimberly, what do you have? yeah, the national security council of course, the vitamin ministration. reacting and the comments from it saying that that is not surprising. rejecting the i c c a it decision to issue arrest for is a gates the is really prime minister and defense minister and saying that it's

deeply concerned. once again saying the prosecutors rushed to seek rest worth calling this a troubling error that led to this decision. and once again, the us believes that the i, c, c has no jurisdiction. this is something that it said back in may as well. now it is going to be coordinating with israel as well as international partners. it says to discuss next steps. now having said that, the one of the top republicans in the us senate senator lindsey graham, who posted earlier that he was opposed to this decision has since issued another post that is even stronger than the one he issued in the last couple of hours. he goes on to say to president 5, as well as president elect donald trump, as well as current members who congress and those that are elected for the upcoming congress. that will be taking place in january saying those that do not act

forcefully against the i. c, c, and this outrages decision are making a huge mistake, and i fear that the united states is next. if we do not fight back, we are seating or conceding that they have jurisdiction over the united states. he says he'll be introducing legislation that puts the court. i notice if you aid and abet the i, c c, or rather puts countries on notice. in other words, those, the aid and the bad. the eyes to see a guest is real, should expect consequences from the united states. any nation. he's saying the joys, the icpc is a partner, the tramples on the rule of law. so in other words, he's saying that any one that complies that would in any way, uh, if the pres, private is written yahoo or the defense minister, where she travels with that country. if they were to arrest one of these individuals, they could expect that they would be seeking or would be receiving some sort of action by the united states. this is

a strongly worded threat by the very senior senator lindsey graham that was posted on the social media platform x in just the last hour or so. kimberly, i want to point out something is actually 2 days old. that becomes even more relevant at the moment from another us senator. send it to john through and from south dakota, who as you know will be the next senate majority leader. right, the incoming one. she tweeted just 2 days ago that if the icy cn is prosecutor, do not reverse this, the direct quote reading is to we do not reverse outragious and unlawful actions to pursue arrest warrants against is really officials. then there should be a sent. it should immediately pass sanctions legislation. right? arrest warrants means the us for the sanction of the i. c c. and the prosecutor. how serious is the us threat of sanctions against an international court of law? it's extremely serious. i re, 1st of all it's, it's saying that id number one doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the court,

which we know. but that in and of itself is hypocritical, because it does recognize the jurisdiction when it comes to vladimir putting which this administration is called a war criminal. and does recognize its jurisdiction when it comes to prosecuting vladimir putin for what it says are alleged for crimes. when it comes to his evasion of ukraine. now the other reason this is serious is because what this, any sort of us sections against the i c, c prosecutor, would mean that their property could be, were both just, they have property here in the united states. they could be prevented from conducting any sort of transactions with regard to their property. this could be hundreds of thousands. is this even millions of dollars they could have their visas revoked and they could also be prevented from traveling to the united states. so the implications for not only themselves, but also their family members as well. perhaps they have family members studying in the united states, living in the united states, the implications have a could have

a ripple effect. and so it is extremely serious. i. kimberly how okay, great talk to you. thank you very much for your reporting there from the white house. meanwhile, israel's forces continued to pound northern gaza with no sign of letting up an overnight attack on the shake road. one neighborhood in gaza. city killed at least 22 people. 10 of them were children, entire residential buildings were flattened and reduced to rubble. abraham l. felicia has the latest from the side of that attack and got the city. i am right now standing above the level of one of the houses that has been targeted and an overnight attacked by these what any flights or is it and i was gone the area in the shifter, blonde, northern gods, a city. as you can see, the scale of the destruction inflicted on this for 6, the story building. as you can see, a mass destruction mazda the station. the attack resulted in killing palestinians, and does is where injured as we have spoken to civilians. here,

there was cooling process is continuing, save civilians are trying to help get in the traps if it means from under durable. and as you can see, this house, which was once children, civilly is who took refuge in this home and displays to his home from the areas of value. if he can. bethlehem with handling, they ended up being targeted and brutally killed in an overnight attack while they were sleeping. at least 11 apartments had been flattened down to the ground with the continuation of these what you live on bargemen target in several areas in northern does city. the suffering of civilians exacerbating as time goes by the volume. if anybody does your northern gaza,

how does pine honey mount mode is in there? about a central guys. so honey, we just had the reporting about data attacking guys, a city i want to ask you for this hour. what the reaction is from palestinians. you've been talking to, to the i. c, c's, arrest warrants against netanyahu, and go on of the yes will, on the popular level, the more we talk to people, the more realize there is a dis mixed feeling suspicious. optimism of a decision, like the eyes of the hordes of the international court of justice. arrest warrants against any on your gland. if it's large, you perceive the small bit of justice. after a little over a year of genocide, the last across the gods history, we're looking at close 284-004-5000 people have been killed. the majority of them having to be the villian majority of women and children from the northern part in

bid my a bit, i don't all the way to roof. i sit in the southern part of this trip. it just for a lot of people, it will lead time that will tell if this move has a power to be implemented or it's another in the rise. we've seen a deposit a few months. how do you and security council, the resolution after resolution? another international court of justice, the decision was not implemented was not a fully or, and by these really military. and what we seen of the and see on the ground more genocide, the ox. but the official level here from how much leader it will come the decision then age as in paul that i, i caught here be described the prime minister and on is the former defense secretary as terrorist and they are calling for expanding the risk warranty include all fish shows all those were involved in the genocide. those acts across the gaza strip. it's interesting to see how this will be unfolding in the coming days that

they are clearly still more bonding going on more attacks in the northern part district. and just within the past half an hour, another attack on a loss evacuation going to another clear violation of international human in los byte is really a military and there's frank, causing already 20 people of severe injuries transferred all of them transferred to manasseh and medical complex in the city of pioneer and its genocide deluxe are still going on. no, no, no, no on ending in the side of any of these as of now. honey, thank you very much for your reporting. that self is 0. is honey mccord reporting from darrow bhalla and the gaza strip. it's still a head on alpha 01 of the world's richest menace facing fraud charges in the us, and a case involving millions of dollars and brides. the

the limit to how far the dream contains sta in your own adventure. now, counter air waves the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching l 0. a reminder of our headlines this our,

the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for as really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former defense minister you of the launch for war crimes and gaza. it's also issued warrants for how most commander, mom and dave israel says he was killed in an air strike in july. but that has not been confirmed. israel's bombardment of northern gauze, it continues on wednesday night. it's military killed, at least 88 people, one strike alone killed at least 66 palestinians in bay buyer were joined by. you'll see michael berg and associate fellow with the middle east and north africa program at chatham house. you're joining us live from london. thank you. for your time, so you'll see on the one hand from, from the point of view of the legal process and the i c, c. this is a big deal of course. and on the other hand, from the point of view of what palestinians are going through on the ground and gaza, nothing's changing, and nothing is likely to change as a result of these arrest warrants. so how do you look at this?

that is correct. i mean, we don't see anything changing on the go. i think most of the folks should concent periods, focus on the ceasefire. and then now it should have been moved in a year now. and the legal process is the legal process that i actually see grocery sewage losses that. ready that you foster children. so, so the process and then decided mother decided to big. the big question is how this all comes to and it's much photos. anyone we've seen the international community can. if i do image impose it says file, because this video of the out, since i've seen this is item before, before we came up on that wrong, doesn't people lose the chance the amount that the number of civilian is about 3 years on a daily basis. i think that's, well,

that's who i should call so great the entire national. so these really leaders, whether it's the president, the prime minister, say a few different things, but all going in the same direction about these arrest warrants. they call them absurd, biased anti semitic, based on the material that is available to the public, right? the press statements that we can read. is there anything in the courts process and the courts writing of the statements in the courts arrest warrants that you feel is either absurd or biased or anti semitic in this state go to the collision? this, let me do this. i know the size of this and that isn't about any good. this is most days of the gone bad so far fees that you shouldn't have to do that. it's something that i know the thing that we need some to use. the certificate is not to guess the jewish future. it sucks it. so i'll be submitting the way we can essentially excuse for more. so let's see. so it's not even just saying it's in

a upset of the other thing. we also claim with the old vault, the crisis line, which i don't think he's is, is the case. and you, this is the chief boss. if you do have that, there's no real, you cannot get it, but you force it to the home because that there's no, no, no cards, no, no, cause you can see my that's, you know, if you guys to do sports, but that is the level of the insight, but again, the big push to watch. we see that all these many civilians are you receive from the things that actually i called is but by social lives in some sense that's make i see the tool kind of put me through and we don't see news of a government that sees as any sense of urgency to bring to mental this law and not even by the way to release its own hostages after after 14 months. so i think this

is time for these are the society by century for the government, the more they hold my best place themselves searching and you'll see nickel burger associate fellow with a middle east and north africa program at chatham house. thank you very much. thank you. or it's been $62.00 days since the start of israel's ground defensive against has belie lebanon. in that time, the military has attacked thousands of buildings in homes across the country. villages and residential neighborhoods have been damaged or destroyed. is really army has been threatening civilians to leave their homes or face attacks. more than 1200000 people across the country have been displaced. the southern liberties city of tire has seen some of the latest is really airstrikes. the military is told people in the area to leave or face more bombings. attacks on wednesday killed at least 9 people and injured dozens more. and it coincides with a us push for a ceasefire. special envoy almost hochstein is in israel now for talks after

we'll have just kind of during this noise. now we've had no confirmation from russia and we don't know how much damage was actually done. you can also, so some of that me solves, were launched. the 6 of those were intercepted. now this does come often, ukraine has used longer range missiles supplied by the united states that you can france against russian targets inside russia. now that has been wanting some restaurant as of a retaliation, but vis a different carrier of we'll head. and we don't know how much that much it has done, but it could be that russia is reminding ukraine and it's west and back as an allies that russia does have the capability of these intercontinental ballistic missiles and is willing to use them aside. big data, keep ukraine and us, cortes charged indian millionaire delta a dining with fraud. the chair of the multinational, a donnie business group has been indicted in new york along with other executives.
