Israel Reacts Strongly to ICC Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
The International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has elicited fierce condemnation from Israeli leaders and support from Palestinian groups. President Isaac Herzog described the decision as a dark day for justice, while Hamas welcomed the announcement, urging global cooperation to bring the Israeli leaders to justice. The practicality of the warrants is questioned, given that Israel, the US, and other major powers are not signatories to the ICC.
