Analysis: Israelis likely to rally around Netanyahu in wake of ICC arrest warrant
The prosecutor’s allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity were widely derided by the Jewish state and only seemed to knit Israelis more tightly together - in the face of what many considered a biased opinion.
Since then, Netanyahu’s popularity in Israel has slowly grown from its dismal standing in the wake of Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack last year.
On the streets of Jerusalem, despite the most profound and perhaps consequential move against its political leaders, people were shrugging off allegations that the prime minister bears “criminal responsibility for war crimes” including “starvation as a method of war” and “crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.”
One woman told CNN she supports the prime minister against the “biased” accusations.
Part of the country readily believes the Prime Minister’s Office statement Thursday claiming the ICC has taken an “antisemitic” decision. They are likely to band behind Netanyahu, because the country as a whole will likely feel they’re under siege and misunderstood.
There will be very few people who will dare openly and loudly throw their support behind the ICC, whatever they think about Netanyahu, his deadly Gaza war tactics, or the eye popping Palestinian death toll. Above all, they see the ICC as another international institution that, like the UN, doesn’t understand them and what it takes to survive in this region.
For those outside Israel who believe Khan’s principled legal challenge is going to change the mood in the country, that shift will not bear out overnight, not in the near term - and possibly not for a generation.
