ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, deepening international isolation

courant.com

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant over their actions during the Gaza war. This marks a significant escalation in Israel's international isolation. The warrants are based on allegations of murder, persecution, and using starvation as a weapon of war. Israel, which does not recognize the court's authority, has rejected the accusations and criticized the court as biased. Several European countries, including the Netherlands, Ireland, and France, have stated they will honor the warrants. This decision highlights a growing divide between U.S. allies and the Global South regarding the court's jurisdiction.
