Iran asks ICC to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders
Tehran, Dec 29, IRNA
Iran is asking the International Criminal Court to bring to dock the
Israeli leaders for their war crimes in Gaza over the past two years
and the crimes against humanity they perpetrated in massive air strikes.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the United Nations court
specialized in war crimes to sue the Israeli leaders for their crimes
against humanity in Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, members of the Iranian cabinet put the issue of the
humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the issue of sending aid for Gazans on
agenda of the Iranian cabinet.
Emphasizing the need for an immediate judicial action against the
Israeli leaders, President Ahmadinejad that the ICC must send arrest
warrants to the Israeli leaders by the Interpol.
Those involved by any means in such brutality "should be designated as
war criminal and murderer," stressed the president.
The cabinet members have also made major decisions about the crisis in Gaza.
The Foreign Ministry will send Iranian request to the United Nations
Special Court on War Crimes.
The leading Iranian lawyers will also prepare a law suit against the
Israeli leaders in the international court by assistance of the
Judiciary.
A special message from President Ahmadinejad will also be sent to
heads of other countries in this connection.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters at the end of the
cabinet session that special envoys would be introduced within the
next 48 hours to submit President Ahmadinejad's messages to the heads
of other countries.
Members of the cabinet also decided to allocate part of their salary
to the Gazans who are suffering from hard conditions under the Israeli
siege.
Two days of Israeli strikes on Gaza have left around 300 deaths and
900 wounded.
Some 140 wounded are in critical conditions.
A Hamas advisor earlier told IRNA that Israel backed by the West and
the United States, aims to eradicate Hamas in Gaza.
Azam Tamimi also condemned Arab states for their silence.
The horrific brutality of Israel against civilians have triggered
international outrage and shocked world public opinion.
Muslims and non-Muslims people in both Western and Islamic world
staged protest rallies on Sunday condemning Israel's atrocities in Gaza.
They also called on heads of world countries to help stop Israeli
genocide in Gaza.
