ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders over Gaza conflict

thestar.com November 21, 2024, 01:01 PM UTC

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and several Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza conflict and the October 2023 attacks. This development makes Netanyahu and others internationally wanted suspects, complicating cease-fire negotiations. However, practical enforcement may be limited since Israel and the U.S. are not ICC members, and some Hamas officials have been killed in the conflict. The ICC's decision follows accusations that Israeli leaders intentionally deprived Gaza civilians of essential supplies. The warrants are seen as a significant step in international law, despite Israel's claims of bias and its ongoing legal challenges against the ICC's jurisdiction.
