- The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister and Defence minister and three Hamas leaders - accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Israeli cabinet has already hit back - calling it 'moral blindness'. But this means the country's leaders could face arrest in over 120 countries (the signatories to the ICC) if they travel abroad.
Why has the prosecutor sought the warrants now - and what impact could this have on the war in Gaza and on Israel's relationships with the international community? Could Netanyahu really end up in the Hague?
Later, as the infected blood scandal finally acnkowledges decades of failure and cover up we ask why these slow burn scandals that wreck so many lives are such a familiar story in the UK.
And we talk to Omid Djalili about the death of Iran's PM in a helicopter crash.

I'm so sick of Netanyahu, the US and UK govts, with their performative indignation if Israel is pulled up over anything. The UN has spent years, telling them to behave and rulings are ignored every time.
A criminal is a criminal! Even Israeli politicians, if they can't behave properly.
do you have evidence???? the ICC has as much evidence as you have. according to them Netanyahu and Galan starved gazans and the evidence is of an overflow of food: 5million tons of it, sufficient to make all the palestinians obese. why do you want hamas to stay? Israel discovered 6 bodies, 6 young hostages brutally murdered. do you hate so much the jewish state and its people to want other 10/7 again and again? is it because you hate jews? show me how many people in Gaza starved to death, a dozen? less?
We're equal in the eyes of the law. Congrats ICC.
About time 👏👏👏
"Cutting off water? Power? a siege? Kier Starmer?"
Is Starmer leader of Britain? No. So what can he do? If he were leader of Britain what could he do? Answer, Nothing at all. But how come you didn't mention Sunak?
No food
Well, I doubt Israel will give him up. He won’t be able to travel to any ICC signatory countries, but it shouldn’t bother him too much. The US not being a signatory speaks volumes about their human rights record
Actually it's going to bother Netanyahu a lot, he loves to travel to Paris, London and Madrid. Not anymore. I hope he tries and gets arrested.
Finally, one world institution, that sees every human being on this planet as equal!
We dont know that yet, an application for arrest warrants have been filed, we still need to wait and see the judgements they make on the application.
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen
It should not be extraordinary that allies of colonial powers are held accountable for their crimes.
Straight to jail. Do not collect £200
Also how angering that Emily Matlis, isn’t more outraged at the conduct of Israel’s govt and what is happening on the ground.
So much focus on the perpetrators of the war crimes and not enough on the victims of said war crimes.
Well, I guess the focus of this podcast is on those indicted, rather than the victims of the bombings.
She's a supremacist Jew. Explains her obvious bias towards Apartheid Israel.
If Benjamin Netanyahu comes to Britain and our government ignore the warrant , I would make a Citizens Arrest
And would you then attend the forty day trial in Holland as a key witness?
@@stephfoxwell4620What an absurd reply!
@@lordcharfield4529 Why?
You'd be commited to weeks living in the Hague.
You wouldn't, because his bodyguards would take you out before you got anywhere near him
@@stephfoxwell4620The Hague is a very pleasant place to stay in. Try it - you might actually prefer it to Britain.
Only safe place for Netanyahu to be is if he stays at home
Emily I have been listening to more the 10 years. I do have answer for u because we are west in the wrong side of justice for more then 100 years
It also means that England and the USA can be arrested if they are charged with aiding and abetting these war crimes.?
How do you arrest a country?
@@slightlyconfused876 The leaders you should have watched the short.
That will never happen
@@Peter-hs7zn the only thing that stops it is ww3.
If you have nothing to hide or fear, go to court and state your case. What's the problem??
They're are terrified they know what their doing... Israel Government is disgusting.
War crimes
ICC sure is investigating Netanyahu for war crimes including cleansing Palestine civilians. Nothing strange about it at all.
You guys are disgraceful nothing much to say about the Palestinian people more worried about the Israel government.Your foolimg nobody Israel is a apartheid state
Limits his movements if anything....
Thanks for posting
If you are going to do Netanheehawww .... can you do that liar Blair as well. ????
but who thinks governments will actually arrest Netanyahu? warrant or not, the court has what enforcement arm to impose their judgments?
If they are signatories of the ICC they have to arrest him or they will be held in contempt of the court.
By signing up to the ICC, a nation is obliged by law to arrest any individual who arrives in their territory. The UK would have no option.
@@buzzukfiftythree they most certainly DO have option. a signature on a piece of paper can be ignored. treaties can be ignored or torn up and thrown away, etc… and no one can force the local police to do anything they don’t want to do.
The Helicopter crash more likely due to pilots lack of spacial awareness in bad weather than mechanical faults maybe also along with incorrect calibration of instruments. These are the most common causes in bad weather conditions.
Alicia Kearns a UK a politician who speaks so much sense. “As she says read the judgement”. The hypocrisy of western government’s like UK & US is that the ICC Is only for the global south or countries that they don’t like or agree with. Are they really saying just because a country has a judicial system they can’t commit war crimes. More like they say they investigate their own, but make sure there is total cover up. And say “nothing to see here” & the western governments just agree.
Alicia for PM! I don’t care about her politics at this point, I just would love someone who appears to be morally and ethically not bankrupt.
@@OhDearOhDear69Since she is from same party of Sunak, she shouldnt get any vote. Neighter for Labour. Vote Workers, Socialist, Green or Independent
@@obaidullahsujon2842 agree 💯, and don’t you worry I will be.
Get Blair, Brown and Straw at the same time
yes, a bit late coming to the debate. News Agents dragging their feet
3:12 Bolton is a nobody, an ex. of an ex.
What about the waspi women?
So much for unbiased reporting..... I only listen to this podcast for the extreme Right Wing perspective.
If the Palestinians are starving why don't Egypt open it's border to let food in.
The government is a puppet installed and funded by US.
😢IT'S CREDIBILITY IS ON DE LINE INTERNATIONALY🤔DE AU SHOULD LEAVE ❤
1 + 2 = Duck!
Who on earth is typing during the interview (around 13 minutes) - please get a quiet keyboard at least
Is Jon a few martinis in?
😂🎉
It's all a IF!!!!! Will the media hold their horses as any sensible judiciary should throw this biased Advocate's atrocious petition.
Omid! your defaming Gnats
I take it Matliss based on your attitude towards Israel you are happy to give up your right of return. I hope you never have to use it
As usual, this channel lacks any substance or critical analysis in regards to Israel-Palestine.
Putin first lol
UK will have to quit the ICC
What are you on about? I have looked at some of your other comments as well, What a bigot you are.
No
He will stay in Israel. Then he has to hope that a future Israeli government does not give him up.
Omid Djalili is a suspicious dude.
He was present when the great actor and drunkard Oliver Reed died in Archbishop street,Valletta.
Are you trying to suggest anything other than they both started in the 1999 motion picture Gladiator which was filmed on location in Malta?
Meaning?
@@lordcharfield4529 Where Djalili goes, trouble follows
So was Russell Crowe….Ridley Scott too !!!
ICC has no jurisdiction over any of the sovereign territory of Israel, including Gaza, Judea and Samaria
Gaza is not the sovereign territory of Israel. Palestine is a signatory of the ICC, and the court ruled that crimes committed on the soil of a signatory fall under ICC jurisdiction.
1) China, Russia, USA, Gaza territory, and Israel are not 'members' of the ICC. So with what authority can they try this?
2) Ask a French politician this question: How do nuclear weapons distinguish between civilian and military targets? Hypocrisy.
3) Disclaimer. I am politically neutral. This is a land dispute, and is a political matter, not legal.
Palestine is a signatory to the ICC, and the ICC recognise Palestine, Gaza is Palestinian territory, the alleged crimes took place on Palestinian territory
@@trevaudio A massacre took place in Israel, launched from Gaza.
The stated war aims of Israel is to destroy Hamas, and to recover Israeli citizens.
The irony is, that Israel will police Gaza.
Humpty & Dumpty discussing the International Clown Commission (ICC). Only you guys would care. No one else takes them seriously anyway.
I condemned that arrest warrant for Israel pm ,why if u r in your home and someone attacked your children and wife your family, and you defend your family,why should the police issue a arrest warrant for you.
But that's exactly what Isreal has been doing to Palestians for 70 years!
The world ostracising Jews - what a surprise.
No, the world is not doing that. Israel has chosen its path towards isolation, they are accountable for their actions and they don’t represent or speak for all Jews.
I would argue equating the actions of Israel with the actions of all Jewish people is anti Semitic and more damaging to Jewish people as a whole. The arrest warrants are for 2 Israeli leaders (who have on record in their own words advocated for crimes against humanity) not every Jewish person in the world.
That comment won't work can't escape doing war crimes and givin a free pass NO ONE'S ABOVE THE LAW
UK will have to quit the ICC
