Emphatic ‘No’ from Hungary to ICC’s Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
On Monday, May 20, the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan sought arrest warrants for the head of the Palestinian terror organization Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The indictment of the Israeli PM has caused an international uproar, many accusing the ICC of a serious misjudgement and putting the head of the Israeli government on the same level as the leader of an Islamist terror network. The Hungarian government reacted by strongly criticizing the ICC’s arrest warrant.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has joined the line of world leaders who have condemned the attempt at the Israeli leaders’ prosecution.
The ICC Chief Prosecutor’s proposal against Prime Minister Netanyahu is absurd and shameful. Such initiatives will not bring the Middle East closer to peace, but only fuel further tensions,
- wrote Viktor Orbán on X.

Behind the warrants against both Hamas and Israeli officials is a group of prominent British legal experts, some of them with a track record of past statements against Israel.
ICC Chief prosecutor Karim Khan himself is a British-born legal professional of Pakistani-British descent, but as a member of the moderate Ahmadiyya group, he can hardly be accused of Islamist biases. Behind the case is a legal panel made up of experts who have a track record of radical human rights activism and of statements made against Israel that could call the impartiality of their advice into question. Among them, the Lebanese-born British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, or another British legal expert, Baroness Helena Kennedy. Another member of the legal panel is British lawyer Danny Friedman KC, who in an open letter last year accused the Israel Defense Forces of having run roughshod over the laws of war.
"... адвокат Дэнни Фридман К.С., который в прошлом году в открытом письме обвинил Армию обороны Израиля в грубом нарушении законов войны."
А кто то затаскал его по судам, требуя документальных обоснований его обвинений Израиля? Нет?
А почему? Чем тогда этот уёбок отличается от разных друкеров? Мало у нас юристов, включая американских, способных превратить его в тряпку?
Who were the experts on the ICC’s panel?
