ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant over war crimes

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued on Thursday arrest warrants for Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of “crimes against humanity and war crimes.”

This marks a significant escalation in legal actions concerning the war on Gaza, obliging the ICC’s 124 member states to detain Netanyahu and Gallant should they enter their territory.

The court announced its unanimous rejection of “Israel’s” appeal challenging the ICC’s jurisdiction.

The ICC stated that there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant “bear criminal responsibility for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare.”

It also indicated that they “intentionally and knowingly deprived” Gaza’s civilian population of essential resources, including food, water, medical supplies, and fuel.
