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

theguardian.com November 23, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, marking the first time leaders from a western-allied state have been charged with war crimes. This decision has been welcomed by Palestinians as a significant step in their fight against Israeli occupation. The ICC found reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for war crimes related to the Gaza conflict, including starvation and inhumane acts. The warrants limit their ability to travel, as ICC member states are required to arrest them. Israel, which is not an ICC member, denies committing war crimes and has criticized the court's actions. The situation poses challenges for Israel's allies, who must balance support for Israel with accountability for alleged war crimes.
