The rulings of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are not political and must be implemented, Josep Borrell, Vice-President of the European Commission, said.
His comments came after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The move triggered outrage from the Israeli government.
At a news conference held at the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Amman on Thursday, Borrell said that the ICC’s arrest warrants are not political decisions and must be respected and implemented.”
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi echoed Borrell’s remarks.
“The international community cannot selectively accept ICC decisions in some cases while rejecting them in others,” Al-Safadi said.
He called on the international community to view the ICC’s decision as a message to “halt massacres in Gaza” and to ensure the delivery of aid to the besieged territory.
