Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vehemently denied accusations from the International Criminal Court (ICC) that Israel intentionally starved Gazans during the recent conflict. In a speech to the US Congress, Netanyahu dismissed the claims as 'utter, complete nonsense' and 'a complete fabrication'.
The ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, recently announced that arrest warrants had been requested for three Hamas leaders and two Israeli politicians, including Netanyahu and Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The allegations against Netanyahu and Gallant include causing extermination, starvation as a method of war, and deliberately targeting civilians in conflict.
