International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Israeli Leaders Amid Gaza Conflict
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the prolonged conflict in Gaza. The warrants theoretically limit their travel as they could be arrested in any of the 124 member states of the court. The move has drawn condemnation from Israel and US President Joe Biden, while Hamas praised the decision as a step towards justice.
