ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders over Gaza conflict
kgw.com —
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister, and Hamas leaders, accusing them of war crimes related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This development makes Netanyahu and others internationally wanted suspects, potentially complicating cease-fire negotiations. However, its impact may be limited since Israel and the U.S. are not members of the court. Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have condemned the warrants, calling them disgraceful. U.S. President Joe Biden also criticized the ICC prosecutor and reaffirmed support for Israel's defense against Hamas.
