Action Alert: Al-Haq Urges the International Community to Intervene, as Israeli Tanks enter the West Bank following Netanyahu Orders of an “Intensive Operation”

Al-Haq once again issues a stark call for urgent international intervention, as Israel’s settler colonial apartheid regime escalates and further intensifies hostilities sending armoured tanks into the West Bank. On the 32^nd day of Israel’s brutal military onslaught on the northern West Bank and the worst atrocities since the Second Intifada, Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered an “intensive operation” in the West Bank to “increase preventative activity against additional attacks in Israeli cities”… Al-Haq stresses that the failure of State Parties to the International Criminal Court to arrest Netanyahu, while facilitating his transatlantic flights through their sovereign airspace, not only breaches their obligation to cooperate with the International Criminal Court, it is fuelling the continued Israeli aggressions on the protected Palestinian population, by a wanted international fugitive. Al-Haq calls on the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to add crimes pertaining to the settlements, apartheid and genocide to the charges against Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Minister of Defence, Yoav Gallant, and expedite other arrest warrants of Israeli military and political leaders –– to end international impunity for Israeli crimes, and the destruction of the Palestinian people.
