Israel appeals ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant

tribune.com.pk

Israel announced it will appeal arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The appeal seeks to suspend the warrants while the case is reviewed. The ICC issued the warrants last week, citing suspicions of crimes against humanity and war crimes related to Israel's actions in Gaza following the October 7 attack by Hamas. Netanyahu condemned the warrants, claiming they reflect anti-Semitism. The ICC also issued a warrant for Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, who Israel claims was killed in an airstrike in July, though Hamas has not confirmed this. The court found reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for war crimes.
