ICC Arrest Warrants for Israeli Leaders Spark Controversy
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, prompting outrage from Israeli officials who label the move as antisemitic. In contrast, the decision has been welcomed by Palestinian groups and citizens. President Isaac Herzog condemned the warrants as a dark day for justice, while Hamas called for international cooperation against what it refers to as ‘Zionist war criminals.’ Legal experts express skepticism about the likelihood of the leaders facing trial.
