ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former defense minister Gallant

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing alleged war crimes during the Gaza conflict. This marks a significant escalation in Israel's international isolation. Israel has rejected the warrants, calling the court biased. The U.S. government, while supporting Israel, has also criticized the court's decision, though its response was less forceful than in previous instances. Several European countries, including the Netherlands, Ireland, and France, have stated they will honor the warrants. This development highlights a growing divide between U.S. allies and nations more supportive of the ICC's actions.
