Israel has been secretly fighting against the international criminal court (ICC) for almost ten years. They used their intelligence agencies to spy, hack, pressure, and threaten ICC staff to stop the court's investigations. The ICC is a court that prosecutes individuals for serious crimes. Germany's foreign minister said that international law applies to everyone, including Israel. Israel denied the allegations made against them. In Rafah, Israel conducted an airstrike on tents. Donald Trump tried to hide negative news before the 2016 election. South Africa is having a competitive election that might change the ruling party. Polls show that the ruling party might lose some votes. James Blunt claimed that a UK tabloid paid women to sleep with celebrities for stories. France filed the first criminal climate lawsuit against big oil companies. The US is not part of the ICC treaty. Israel and its allies should continue to fight against Hamas. Israel is facing criticism from the ICC and ICJ, but they are acting in self-defense against Hamas. Hamas uses civilians as shields to protect themselves. Israel believes its actions are justified. Israel should not follow court orders that they believe are not enforceable. The ICC's demand to halt military operations in Gaza is seen as targeting Hamas, not all Palestinians. Israel sees its actions as self-defense. It is important to explain why Israel is defending itself against threats from Hamas and Iran.
