FFS, what an piss-taking insult to the world these evil bastards are!
quote: THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday announced it would replace on health grounds one of the judges deciding on a prosecution request to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a move that could spark further delays in the case.
In May prosecutors asked for warrants for Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant as well as three Hamas leaders, saying there were reasonable grounds that the men had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The president of the ICC said the presiding judge in the case, Romanian magistrate Iulia Motoc, had asked to be replaced on health grounds on Friday and was immediately replaced with Slovenian ICC judge Beti Hohler.
The replacement is expected to further delay a decision on possible warrants in the case looking at the Gaza conflict as the new judge will need time to catch up on the filings.
Perhaps not so much with ICJ. Romanian magistrate Iulia Motoc comes from a NATO state. How unfortunate for her, and thus her rational decision to look after her own health.
I recall Mike Pompeo threatened a UN official with 'we know where your kids study (as in NY)' or some such, from memory, which clarifies. I can't seem to locate it.

That was John Bolton. Pompey was the one who assured zionists that he'd make sure Corbyn never became pm. Ironic considering the Republicans are now mitigating on electoral interference.

Maybe something sinister here, but we don't know, do we? Perhaps there really is a health issue. You can read about her on Wiki, she doesn't seem to be the sort of judge to be easily intimidated. But any further delay is obviously a pity.
