The Hague is a major city in the Netherlands and is often described as the country's de facto capital city.
In addition to hosting the Dutch seat of government, the city is also known for being a major center of international law. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), among over 200 other organizations and institutions, are both based in the city.
The International Criminal Court in The Hague, instead of standing as a bastion of justice, has devolved into a stage for hypocrisy and cowardice.
ICC judges are reviewing Khan's May request for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, his defense chief and Hamas leaders.
Khan has denied allegations of misconduct that were reported to the court's governing body last month. At that time he asked the court's own internal oversight body to investigate them.
The judges in The Hague clearly need to be reminded that, a mere nine months ago, evildoers from Gaza launched a murderous attack on peaceful citizens, whose only sin was being Jews.
The decision permits UK, other countries to oppose the jurisdiction.
General elections in South Africa were held on May 29 to elect a new National Assembly, and were the seventh democratic elections held since the end of the Apartheid regime.
Following the ICJ's ruling on Friday, forcing Israel to halt its operations against Hamas in Rafah, many politicians and various experts expressed their opinions on the ICJ and its ruling.
Khan wanted to leave his mark. And he has. It’s a dark, bloody bruise. A stain on history.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant responded to arrest warrants that could be made against him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it "disgraceful."
“To deny Israel, that inherent right” of self-defense, “is unthinkable,” Foreign Ministry legal adviser Tamar Kaplan Tourgeman told the ICJ.
