International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Israeli Leaders Amidst Ongoing Conflict
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Also targeted is Hamas leader Mohammed Deif. Netanyahu condemned the decision as anti-Semitic, while Hamas argues that it supports the Palestinian cause. The situation escalates as violence continues in the region, with the Israeli military targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, prompting retaliatory rocket attacks. Global reactions vary, with the EU affirming respect for the court’s decision and the U.S. expressing deep concern over the warrants.
