The Greens are calling on the Australian government to publicly support the ICC Chief Prosecutor\u2019s decision to press for the arrests of Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel\u2019s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and three Hamas leaders, Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri.
The findings of the International Criminal Court Prosecutor reinforce what so many in our community already knew; there has been serious and sustained breaches of international law in Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza and Hamas\u2019 attacks on civilians since the October 7th attacks.
Australia cannot proclaim a commitment to upholding an international rules-based order only when it suits us. The ongoing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humans in Gaza must end. The perpetrators must be held to account.
Australia cannot follow the United States\u2019 complete disregard for the independent court, and cannot follow them in denying genocide in Palestine.

\u201cThe Greens support the ICC Prosecutor in issuing arrest warrants and pursuing the arrest of Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel\u2019s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leaders.
\u201cAustralia must immediately respond by expelling Israel\u2019s Ambassador to Australia and putting sanctions on his war cabinet.\u00a0
\u201cViolence against civilians is never acceptable. Australia needs to call for a permanent and immediate ceasefire to ensure that this genocide ends.
\u201cWhat is happening in Palestine is deplorable. The IDF is deliberately starving, dehydrating and cutting off Palestinians from aid, with no end in sight. Those responsible must be held to account.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
