The father of an Israeli captive held in Gaza said yesterday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “committing war crimes”, warning that he will meet with the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Karim Khan, to inform him that Netanyahu not only committed “war crimes in Gaza, but also inside Israel”.
Yehuda Cohen, father of 19-year-old soldier Nimrod Cohen, said: “Soldiers are being killed because of the ongoing war, and because of Netanyahu’s personal motives related to his trial, so he is responsible for crimes of genocide and war crimes inside Israel.”
In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes carried out in Gaza. Israel fears more warrants may be issued against individual soldiers who have posted about their actions in Gaza on social media.
