Pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside the Park Lane Hotel on Thursday, where former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was staying, demanding his arrest.
The demonstrators called for accountability following the issuance of International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants seeking the arrests of Gallant and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Protesters chanted slogans and held signs condemning Israeli actions in Gaza, urging international authorities to enforce the ICC’s rulings.
The demonstration underscored growing global outrage over Israel’s military actions and the perceived impunity of its leaders.
Despite the ICC warrants, Gallant appeared undeterred, praising the Israeli army during a speech in New York.
“This is my first visit to the United States – here in New York, in Brooklyn – since the war that was forced upon us,” Gallant stated, according to Israeli media.

ICC Arrest Warrants
On November 21, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant over war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the ICC announced that it “issued warrants of arrest for two individuals, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024, the day the Prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest.”
Their alleged war crimes include using starvation as a weapon of war and committing acts such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
The ICC emphasized that Israel’s acceptance of the court’s jurisdiction is not necessary and disclosed the arrest warrants in the interest of the victims.

According to the statement, the Court found that “there are reasonable grounds to believe that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024.”
The Court also assessed that there are “reasonable grounds to believe” that Netanyahu and Gallant “bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population of Gaza”.
“In this regard, the Chamber found that the material provided by the Prosecution only allowed it to make findings on two incidents that qualified as attacks that were intentionally directed against civilians,” the statement added.
(The Palestine Chronicle)
Really very shameful that this extremely wicked Zionist reptile (Yoav Gallant), who’s 100 percent guilty for his role in Israel’s Holocaust against the Palestinian civilians of Gaza, is not being arrested by the U.S. authorities, and sent over to the ICC. But, of course, it couldn’t be any other way. After all, the USA (completely owned by the Zionists) has been 100 percent guilty since the first day of this Holocaust, by endlessly supplying the Zionist entity with massive quantities of highly destructive bombs, aircraft and other weapons (all free of charge), as well as billions of dollars of stolen American taxpayer money.
” since the war that was forced upon us ”
Bullsh!t! it was obviously a false flag.
Biden armed Palestine in September 2023, that is public information. then around 3 weeks later there was an
” attack ” , where ” Israel ” killed a lot of their own people to make it look more
” anti-Semitic ” and they used weapons that Biden gave them. This is called a proxy war.
Netanyahu knew an attack was coming and let it happen. This is called a coup.
All they did was make the world hate Jews, which was the Zionist plan from the start. Exploiting them, for the settler scumbags: who look A LOT like ISIS, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda…look at the photos and you see the same faces.
And exactly where is this “public information” you’re talking about, in regard to Biden arming Palestine in September of 2023? That’s totally not possible! The Zionists, who completely control everything that goes on inside the U.S. “government”, would have had him immediately removed from office for doing that. Moreover, Genocide Joe is devoted to everything that revolves around “Israel”, and, he’s also 100 percent guilty in enabling and funding its genocidal atrocities against the Palestinian civilians of Gaza.
What can you say…about this brazen criminal sociopath…he must not be allowed to leave the US without facing the full weight of justice. Gallant must pay the price for his horrific acts of violence on 2.3 million sanctioned and deprived civilian…half of whom are children…
The US faces a test in front of whole world me…arrest and prosecute the war criminals…all of them!!! Biden, Blinken and Sullivan…criminal inept people… incapable of talking to anyone…in the whole world…
An occupation and genocide, including war crimes and crimes against humanity cannot be “forced” upon anyone. That sounds like the childish, angry retort of “look what you made me do.” Preemptive attacks are NOT self-defense. Nothing can justify the initial theft of land and murder of its rightful owners. Intelligent adults of good will resort to problem solving instead of murder, even when it requires making concessions.
The sickness surpassing insanity in the usa today is beyond description. Imagine, permitting a known War-Criminal, a bag of garbage guilty of Crimes Against Humanity to freely enter the nation !!! But then, is biden or congress any less guilty? The complete Fall of america or at least the transference of power into the hands of those demonstrators for Human Justice shouting from america’s streets… MUST be the goal of all humanity. … The 99% will Celebrate the Victory of the Palestinians.
An ‘important’ Chosen One visiting Greater Israel to be arrested ? What for ? If, say, he owes a whack of back taxes to the IRS then maybe with some theatrics, yes, outcome guaranteed. Otherwise. . . crickets 🦗
