Ms Bensouda, who will be succeeded by British prosecutor Karim Khan in June, also stressed that the "central concern must be for the victims of crimes, both Palestinian and Israeli, arising from the long cycle of violence and insecurity that has caused deep suffering and despair on all sides".

When the Palestinians asked to accede to the Rome Statute, they recognised ICC jurisdiction for the purpose of prosecuting alleged perpetrators of crimes from 13 June 2014 onwards.

You are missing the point , the ICC cant prosecute people who are not part of the ICC it is not recognized by Israel or the USA , they will have no entry into Israel - they will not question anybody

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to secure a solid parliamentary majority in Israel's election on Tuesday but a potential deal with a rival rightist could make him the eventual winner, TV exit polls showed.

Israelis began voting in their fourth election in two years on Tuesday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes the country's world-leading coronavirus vaccine rollout will finally push him through an era of unprecedented political paralysis and into a stable majority.

Morning ,
We had our 4th Election yesterday which is also a National Holiday , for the shops and bars and restaurants it is a bonanza .
I voted for Lapid liberal Zionist party 2 state idealist and my wife voted for Labor which has the same agenda Merav Michaeli is a neighbor of ours and My Wife and Daughter like her very much
As of this moment nobody knows what has happened but if all goes true to form nothing will happen with Netanayu scrambling to make deals with the devil and if my Guy gets a chance he will also do deals with the devil , the Devil being very popular this time of the year

So who's going to form Israel's next government? And for how long before you have to have yet another election? Israel is not a good example of PR.
I'm watching from afar and hoping that the horse trading will soon be over.

Good Morning ,
Everything you say is correct , it is bad for Israel and its image (whatever that maybe)
Firstly since the Election there is has been a Week Holiday for Passover , which in Blighty is more or less one night and a day but over here it is a full week and for the Sephardic Jews it is an additional day so they have 8 days , the Horse trading is now actually only starting.
Netanayu has the clear lead on paper but to stay in power with a majority he needs 4/5 seats from the Arab list and some of his partners on the extreme right wont work with the Arabs
Lapid is a clear second but is willing to take in elements of the Netanayu supporters and give them high profile positions this includes Bennet who he has offered the PM job to on a rotational basis (Netanyu will not cede this to anybody)
I am guessing that MAYBE Lapid may just get the numbers because he is willing to concede and make compromises , I hope he wins

I hope he does too.
Netanyahu should face the charges against him and the courts should decide on his guilt or innocence before he's allowed to play a major role in government.
