️BREAKING: ICC Appeals Chamber Issues Ruling on Israel’s Jurisdiction Challenge.
Today, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) ruled on Israel’s appeal regarding the Court’s jurisdiction over crimes in Palestine.
➤ The Chamber reversed a previous decision that dismissed Israel’s challenge to the Court’s jurisdiction, stating the Pre-Trial Chamber had failed to properly consider Israel’s legal arguments. The case is now sent back for a new ruling.
➤ However, Israel’s request to suspend the arrest warrants issued for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant was dismissed as irrelevant at this stage.
➤ The Appeals Chamber also rejected, by majority, a second Israeli appeal about a procedural matter related to the Prosecutor’s actions.
The ruling means the arrest warrants remain active, but the jurisdictional debate will continue.
