committed by the Israeli government and the ongoing brutality that has
persisted for over 50 days.

During an interview on Al-Jazeera's program
"Al-Masaa," Belarra emphasized her unwavering commitment to her
previous stances. She also revealed an initiative she is spearheading to gather
online signatures, urging the
International Criminal Court (ICC) to indict Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal, Jo24 reported.
Belarra spoke about her dismissal, clarifying
that while her stance on the Israeli occupation wasn't the direct cause of her
removal, the misalignment between her position and that of her party and
government regarding the war played a significant role. She emphasized the
necessity to champion human rights, even if it comes at the expense of
political positions.
The former minister consistently used the term
"
war crimes" to characterize the situation, pointing out the alleged
media blackout in the West, especially in the U.S. She accused Israel of
blatantly violating international law and suggested that their actions were
shielded by U.S. influence and pressure from the Jewish lobby on American
politics.
She argued that the lack of accountability for
Israel stems from US and European apprehensions about being accused of
anti-Semitism.
She condemned what she perceives as the
glaring hypocrisy of the US and Europe, contrasting their reactions to Russia's
actions in Ukraine. Belarra accused them of applying double standards,
asserting that the EU and the US exhibit unacceptable hypocrisy by allowing the
bombing of thousands of children and women in the occupied territories while
claiming to champion democracy, human rights, and international law.
