The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The court stated there is reasonable evidence suggesting that Netanyahu and Gallant oversaw attacks against civilians, including the use of starvation as a weapon of war.
In addition to Netanyahu and Gallant, the ICC also issued an arrest warrant for a Hamas leader.
The court rejected Israel’s earlier appeals, and this decision follows a request by ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan in September to expedite the arrest warrants, despite pressure from world leaders to prevent such action.
Both Netanyahu and Gallant face charges of committing crimes against humanity in Gaza, where the ongoing conflict has resulted in the deaths of over 44,000 Palestinians, mostly women, and children,
