00:00 In Israel, nine petitioners filed a lawsuit on Thursday with the Supreme Court asking
00:04 it to declare Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unfit for office.
00:09 The petitioners, including former Israel Defense Forces chiefs Moshe Jalon and Dan Halutz,
00:16 believe that Netanyahu, who faces criminal charges, is in an obvious conflict of interest.
00:22 The Haaretz Daily indicated that the petitioners allege that the Prime Minister's actions
00:28 are motivated by personal interests rather than those of the country, the public or the
00:34 welfare of the hostages and their families.
00:37 In November last year, the Public Prosecutor's Office in Istanbul, Turkey, received a petition
00:42 accusing Netanyahu of committing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
00:48 Similarly, on December 29, South Africa filed a request to initiate proceedings against
00:54 Israel before the International Court of Justice in The Hague regarding its acts of genocidal
00:59 nature committed in the Gaza Strip and to seek an urgent suspension of the Israeli military
01:04 campaign.
