ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others over Gaza conflict

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza conflict. Countries are divided on the warrants, with Ireland and the Netherlands stating they would arrest Netanyahu if he visits, while Hungary has pledged not to. The U.S. and Israel do not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction and have criticized the warrants. The warrants come amid rising international concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the death toll has surpassed 44,000. The ICC claims Netanyahu and Gallant used starvation as a method of warfare, which Israeli officials have denied.
