The #ICC can issue for signatories countries an arrest warrant on #Netanyahu because it has jurisdiction over international crimes committed in #Palestine since 2012
BUT
If #Israel doesn't recognise the #ICC, its territory isn't included in the jurisdiction, and the crimes of Hamas where carried out there, then how can the #ICC issue a legally binding arrest warrant on Hamas leaders?

"If #Israel doesn't recognise the #ICC, its territory isn't included in the jurisdiction,"
That raises a couple of complications.
First, ICC warrants are ineffective, unless the subject of a warrant enters territory in which the warrant is recognised. If the subject of a warrant enters a state that has signed the Rome Statute and enacted complementary & cooperation legislation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_parties_to_the_Rome_Statute then they will be arrested and extradited for trial.
@amnogues@academicchatter@politicalscience@geopolitics@sociology@anthropology Palestine became a signatory of the Rome Statue in 2015. Judiciary agreed that for the intent of the Rome Statute Palestine be recognised as a State. Crimes committed by or to a member of the ICC gives the ICC full jurisdiction to investigate and Khan has done that. This is no different to Putin’s warrant where Ukraine is a member, but Russia is not.
Thank you for your explanation and the comparison with Russia is clarifying 😎
However, Putin's crimes happened in the territory of a signatorie country (Ukraine), but this is not the case with Hamas' crime that were carried out in Israel, which is not a signatorie country. Is the responsability to protect beyond this recognition?
Thank you very much for the screenshot. The paragraph b) is undeniably clear and my question is solved 😎
The #ICC recognises Palestina as a State and, hence, it can issue an arrest warrant on Hamas leaders independently where did they committed the crimes👏

And here's a fascinating update on how the whole "let's-go-to-the-#MAGA-true-believers-for-half-a-billion-bucks-THAT-will-surely-work" fundraising thing is going for #Trump. (via electoral-vote.com)
This item is very inside baseball and very hard to understand, but it also very important, so here we go. As you undoubtedly know, Donald Trump needs to raise something in excess of half a billion dollars very fast to post a bond ...
... so he can appeal his losses in both the E. Jean Carroll #defamation case and the Letitia James case. Getting a bank to loan him the money him might be tricky, especially since he has just been found guilty of defrauding #banks.
Trump's Twitter clone is owned by the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). The company's owners, mostly Trump, want to merge it w/Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC).
The latter is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Its prospectus basically said: "Invest in our company and when we get enough money, we will buy or merge with something valuable. Just trust us."
