ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas leader over Gaza conflict

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, accusing them of war crimes related to the Gaza conflict. This marks a significant shift, as Netanyahu had previously not faced any ICC warrants despite scrutiny over alleged war crimes. The new warrants may increase international isolation for the leaders involved. The ICC's actions have drawn criticism from Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, who labeled the warrants as disgraceful. The United States has also expressed support for Israel, emphasizing its right to defend itself against Hamas.
