ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant over Gaza war crimes

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes in Gaza. This development makes them internationally wanted suspects amid ongoing conflict. The warrants follow accusations that Netanyahu and Gallant deprived Gaza's civilian population of essential resources. The ICC's decision complicates cease-fire negotiations but may have limited practical effects, as Israel is not a member of the court. Israeli leaders have condemned the warrants, calling them antisemitic and a reward for terrorism. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has challenged the ICC's jurisdiction, asserting that Israel's legal system is capable of handling such allegations.
