Femi Fani-Kayode claims the IDF might bomb the ICC courtroom if Netanyahu and Gallant are arrested.
Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has made a controversial claim that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) might bomb the courtroom of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and military Chief Yoav Gallant are arrested. This statement was made in response to the ICC’s move to arrest and prosecute Netanyahu, Gallant, and some Hamas leaders for crimes committed during Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza.
Fani-Kayode expressed these views on social media, suggesting that Israel might justify such an attack by alleging that Hamas fighters were hiding in tunnels under the courthouse and using it as a human shield. He warned the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and court staff to be vigilant, highlighting the severity of his accusations against the Israeli state’s actions and mindset.
It’s important to note that this claim is highly speculative and has not been substantiated by any evidence. The ICC’s legal proceedings and international relations are governed by strict protocols and laws, making such an attack highly unlikely and legally indefensible.
