This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Aluf Benn (May 21, 2024). "Analysis | Jerusalem, Not The Hague: Israel Must Investigate Netanyahu for Crimes Against Humanity in Gaza". Haaretz. On Monday evening... I went to the Benjamin Netanyahu Wikipedia entry in English. I was interested in seeing what the citizens of the world who are interested in the Israeli leader would find there, on the most important encyclopaedia website that there is. "Netanyahu's government has been accused of genocide," it reads. Further along, it also mentions the request for an arrest warrant against him "as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine."
