The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant due to allegations of war crimes in Gaza. Prosecutor Karim Khan stated that these actions are part of a systematic attack on civilians, following the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. While the warrants are symbolic as long as Netanyahu remains in Israel, they significantly limit his travel options to countries recognizing the Court’s jurisdiction, including Germany, which is obligated under international law to arrest him if he enters its territory.
