The International Criminal Court has sought arrest warrants for the Israeli Prime Minister and defence minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the crime of deliberately starving the people of Gaza, blocking aid to them and wilfully killing ordinary people. This comes on top of the indictment for plausible genocide handed down by the International Court of Justice. I find it quite shocking, to be quite honest, that the Israeli ambassador was asked to attend a Famine memorial event when the Israeli regime she represents is wilfully inflicting a famine on the people of Gaza. Is it not time to expel the Israeli ambassador for her involvement in, advocacy of and justification for the war crimes, the crimes against humanity and genocide in respect of which Israel is in the dock before both of the international legal institutions that are supposed to uphold international law?
