Social media platforms reacted to the announcement by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, that he had submitted requests to the court to issue orders to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his Defense Minister Yoav Galant, the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, and Muhammad Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, known as Muhammad al-Deif, the leader. The General of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the movement, and the head of the movement’s political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, were charged with committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Israel is fighting on six fronts, the most dangerous of which is the threat of international isolation it faces.
Therefore, it is painful to read the impact of the decision of the International Criminal Court in The Hague that was issued today from the perspective of its impact on the leaders of the entity, as two weeks ago the Prime Minister of the enemy, Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered a speech at the “Yad Vashem” Foundation to commemorate the victims of…

Activists said, “This is how the international system appears in its best form… Even as it tries to beautify itself, it gets more and more involved when you put the victim and the executioner on the same page… When you try to say that the occupier and those under occupation are equal, this is the world in its ugly form, just as “We see him every day, more lying and hypocritical.”
This is how the international system appears at its best.
Even as he tries to beautify himself, he becomes more and more involved when you put the victim and the executioner on the same page.
When you try to say that the occupier and those under occupation are equal!!This is the world in its ugly form, just as we see it every day, more lying and hypocritical.

Bloggers expressed their regret over the decision to equate the owner of the land with the occupier, saying, “Unfortunately, this “politicized” court, which practices selectivity specifically in the Palestinian file, equates the victim and the executioner, and equates the owners of the right to the land and the usurping occupier who occupies the Palestinian land, and the criminal’s decision to arrest Al-Sinwar, Al-Dhaif, and Haniyeh is… It is an incorrect decision and it would be better to prosecute only the leaders of Israel and nothing else.
Unfortunately, this “politicized” court, which practices selectivity specifically in the Palestinian file, equates the victim with the executioner. It equates the owners of the right to the land and the usurping occupier and those who occupy the Palestinian land.

Others mocked the court’s request by saying, “Mohammed Al-Deif and Al-Sinwar destroyed their lives, and they can no longer travel after today, and it is known that 90% of Gaza’s residents only know Gaza and have never left it at all. Muhammad Al-Deif and Al-Sinwar’s biggest journey in his life was to the West Bank when he was young, and Al-Sinwar went to Egypt.” As a politician once or twice, of course, but he spent most of his life in Israeli prisons.”
Information: 90% of the population of Gaza only knew Gaza, otherwise they would leave it at all.

Other bloggers also sarcastically asked the Criminal Court to search for Sinwar because Israel was unable to reach him, saying, “Okay, let them tighten their wits and search from now. Israel has had 8 months and has not found anything except Sinwar’s boots.”
“The Prosecutor of the International Court of Justice in The Hague is seeking to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif.”
Ok, they will start searching from now on

Some observers described the request as historic, saying, “The International Criminal Court’s request to issue an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of Israel and its Minister of Defense, on charges of committing war crimes, is an unprecedented, seismic historical event, a decision that will radically reshape the image of the entity in the world. This is the most dangerous international decision.” “Israel” has faced it since its inception, and the rest of the request is a formal margin that has no practical value.
The International Criminal Court’s request to issue an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of “Israel” and its Minister of Defense, on charges of committing war crimes, is an unprecedented, seismic historical event, a decision that will radically reshape the image of the entity in the world. This is the most dangerous international decision that “Israel” has faced since its inception, the rest. Asking for a formal margin is practically worthless
