Netanyahu and Gallant face arrest warrants from International Criminal Court for war crimes
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court for suspected war crimes in Gaza. This makes them fugitives, as over 120 ICC member countries are required to enforce these warrants. Although Israel does not recognize the ICC's authority, the situation limits Netanyahu and Gallant's travel options. The Rome Statute binds ICC member states to comply with arrest warrants, which includes many of Israel's allies, such as those in the European Union. Legal experts indicate that there are indications some countries may act on the ICC's decision. The warrants could impact Netanyahu and Gallant's international movements significantly.
