ICC requests arrest warrant for Netanyahu over Gaza starvation
The Guardian — May 21, 2024, 06:00 PM UTC
The International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, proposed charges against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for starving Gaza's civilian population. The court's pre-trial chamber is likely to affirm the charges, potentially leading to arrest warrants. Netanyahu's response included accusations of antisemitism. Some governments, like France and Belgium, supported the ICC, while others, including the US, UK, and Germany, defended Israel. Hamas was also charged for atrocities.
