Hamas attacks Israel

[petros]

How did this happen prior to Oct 7?

Does it play into why Hamas attacked?


Key Allegations
Crimes: Settlement expansion (war crime under Geneva Conventions) and potential apartheid (crime against humanity).

Part of ICC's 2021 "Situation in Palestine" probe, covering crimes since 2014.

Timeline
Mar 2021: ICC opens Palestine investigation (includes settlements). Pre-Oct 7

Nov 2022: Ben-Gvir & Smotrich join Netanyahu’s gov’t, push settlement growth. Pre-Oct 7

Mid-2023: ICC begins building cases against them. Pre-Oct 7

Oct 7, 2023: Hamas attack; ICC probe expands to Gaza.

Apr/May 2025: Draft warrants ready, but prosecutor on leave amid misconduct probe.

Aug 2025: Warrants finalized but held up, possibly due to U.S. pressure.

Current Status
Applications are ready but face delays, with concerns they may be shelved.

Other countries (UK, Australia, Canada, etc.) have sanctioned Ben-Gvir/Smotrich; Slovenia backs ICC warrants for Netanyahu/Gallant.

Pre-Oct 7 Connection
Yes, the case focuses on their settlement actions before Oct 7, 2023, though the Gaza war expanded the ICC’s scope.

All the way back to 2014? Wow. That shit stain definitely ain't washing out.

9 years of Zionist terrorism on Palestinians prior to Oct 7 linked to Ben-Gvir is under investigation with Americans trying to cover it up?

But but but....

US President Donald Trump will push a new peace plan to end the Israel-Gaza war during White House talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

Trump has talked up prospects of reaching an agreement, telling journalists on Friday: "I think we have a deal."

But Netanyahu said on Sunday "it's not been finalised yet", while Hamas said they had not formally been sent the proposal.

The US president has talked up prospects of an agreement, but Netanyahu said it was not finalised - and Hamas say they haven't been sent the proposal.

(According to leaked copies of the plan published by US and Israeli media, it stipulates the release of all hostages within 48 hours of the deal being confirmed. Once they are returned, Israel will free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, etc…)

Hamas members who commit to peace will be offered amnesty and safe passage out of Gaza - and the group will have no future role in the territory. All Hamas military structures will be destroyed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will gradually withdraw from the Strip and Gaza will be governed by an interim transitional government.

Odds of this happening?
