International Criminal Court will issue an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for suspected war crimes. In a declaration on Wednesday, the court based in the Netherlands announced that it sees “stable reasons” for the assumption that Netanyahu is responsible for criminal responsibility for war crimes. These include "destruction by hunger as a method of warfare" and "crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution and other inhuman actions".

Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court

The ICCHH rejected Israel's objection to the jurisdiction of the court in this matter. Despite the political tensions and the international debates, the Court of Justice remains unshakable in its decision to check the allegations.

Development of the situation

This matter is still under development and further information is expected to be available shortly. The ICC has the authority to hold people responsible for serious offenses and the global community observes these developments.

The legal and political implications of these arrest warrants could have profound effects on international diplomacy and relationships between Israel and other countries.
