ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over war crimes in Gaza
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Mohammed Deif. This marks the first indictment of Israeli officials related to the ongoing war in Gaza. The ICC accuses Netanyahu and Gallant of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including using starvation as a method of warfare and targeting medical facilities. The warrants require ICC member states to arrest the suspects if they travel to those countries. Reactions from Israeli officials have been critical, labeling the warrants as "anti-Semitic." The U.S. has not commented on the latest development, but previously expressed support for Israel amid the ICC's actions.
