ZitatIsrael tells U.S. it will punish Palestinian Authority if ICC issues warrants
The Israeli government warned the Biden administration that if the International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, it will take retaliatory steps against the Palestinian Authority that could lead to its collapse, two Israeli and U.S. officials said.
Mir scheint damit würden sie sich selbst in den Fuß schießen, aber das haben sie in letzter Zeit öfter gemacht.
Und es wäre zwar nicht überraschend, wenn sie bloß ihren Ärger an den Palästinensern auslassen wollen, aber tatsächlich gibt es auch eine Begründung, warum man in dem Fall gegen die Autonomiebehörde vorgehen würde:
ZitatAlles anzeigenBehind the scenes: Over the last few weeks, Israel has told the U.S. that it has information suggesting Palestinian Authority officials are pressing the ICC prosecutor to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, two Israeli officials said.
U.S. and Israeli officials said Israel told the Biden administration that if arrests warrants are issued, it will consider the Palestinian Authority responsible and retaliate with strong action that could lead to its collapse.
One possible action could be to freeze the transfer of tax revenues Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority. Without these funds, the Palestinian Authority would be bankrupt.
A senior Israeli official told Axios the threat of ICC arrest warrants is real and stressed if such a scenario happens the Israeli cabinet would likely make an official decision to punish the Palestinian Authority, which could lead to its collapse.
