In an opinion piece published in South Africa’s Sunday Times, the country’s Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor says she expects the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister.
“We call on the prosecutor [of the ICC] to speed up the investigation and explore breaches of three of the four crimes under ICC jurisdiction: war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide,” Pandor wrote.
“We expect that warrants of arrest should be executed for those most responsible as per the ICC principles of command and superior responsibility,” she said, adding that these include Netanyahu and some of his cabinet members.
South Africa is one among several countries to have condemned Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, including recalling its ambassador from Israel.
