ICC issues war crimes warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant prompting backlash from Israel and U.S

gatestoneinstitute.org

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges. Critics argue this move shows the ICC's bias and lack of legitimacy, as it cannot prosecute countries with valid judicial systems. U.S. officials, including President-elect Donald Trump, have expressed concerns about the ICC's jurisdiction and potential anti-Israel bias. The White House condemned the ICC's decision, stating it lacks credibility and may lead to sanctions against those involved in the warrants. Israel's government has reacted strongly, calling the ICC's actions corrupt and likening them to historical injustices. Other countries, including France, have indicated they will not enforce the ICC's arrest warrants.
