Israel plans appeal against ICC warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
Israel plans to appeal the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. The warrants were issued last week, citing reasonable grounds for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu and Gallant deny the accusations and assert that Israel does not recognize the ICC's authority. The prime minister's office has requested a delay in the warrants' implementation while appealing the decision. Some European Union countries may comply with the ICC's warrants, while others have not clarified their stance. France's foreign ministry suggested that Netanyahu might have immunity from arrest due to Israel's non-member status in the ICC.
