    An indictment against Netanyahu doesn’t really affect Israel’s trade deals. Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of the Economy, etc are free to go where they need to conclude any deals.

    And most of Netanyahu’s foreign trips before indictment were to the US and Russia, which he is still free to visit. He also frequently visits Jordan, which is an ICC member but in the past has refused to arrest visitors with ICC warrants.

        Turkey’s embargo is not related to the ICC, in fact it happened before the ICC acted against Netanyahu.

            Turkey didn’t petition the ICC, you’re thinking of the ICJ.

            The ICJ is not a criminal court. It cannot arrest or prosecute individuals. It can issue legal opinions regarding disputes between states, but it cannot enforce its opinions. For example, in 2014 it ruled that Japan could not hunt whales in Antarctica yet Japan is still hunting whales there today.

            Regardless, the ICJ has not yet issued a final opinion regarding Israel.

                Yet another thing I didn’t say

                You said May 2. That article is from November.

                In May, the Turkish government petitioned the ICJ to join South Africa as co-plaintiffs. Not the ICC.

                In November, Turkish lawyers (not Turkey itself) provided evidence (not petitioned the court) to the ICC. The Turkish government cannot petition to join ICC prosecutors, prosecutors work alone.

                they just released decision.

                That’s a different ICJ decision against Israel, initiated by the UN in 2022. That decision does not address the invasion of Gaza, because it hadn’t happened yet.

                The Gaza genocide case before the ICJ right now is separate, this is the one that that Turkey petitioned to join in May, and this case still has no final decision.
