International court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas leader Deif
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, accusing them of war crimes related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The court claims Netanyahu and Gallant used starvation as a weapon and targeted civilians, while Deif is charged with involvement in murder and hostage-taking during a Hamas attack in October 2023. The warrants could complicate international travel for the suspects, although enforcement is uncertain. The warrants come amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with over 44,000 reported deaths. Israeli officials deny the charges, while human rights groups support the court's actions, emphasizing accountability for all parties involved in the conflict.
