The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and a senior Hamas official over alleged war crimes committed during the conflict that followed the October 7 attacks on Israel last year.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the ICC, based in the Netherlands, stated that there are 'reasonable grounds' to believe that Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes, including 'starvation as a method of warfare' and crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. The court rejected Israel's challenge to its jurisdiction over the matter.
