Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials may soon face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court over charges related to the war in Gaza, according to reports. The court could accuse them of pursuing a harsh military response to Hamas attacks and blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The possibility of arrest warrants has reportedly influenced Israeli decision-making, with concerns about travel restrictions for the officials. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has called on the court to refrain from issuing warrants, warning of a potential wave of antisemitism.
Netanyahu has vowed to continue fighting against any attempts by the ICC to undermine Israel’s right to self-defense. The ICC claims jurisdiction over war crimes in Gaza, despite Israel not being a member of the court.
The potential warrants have sparked controversy and raised questions about the court’s authority. The situation is ongoing, and the international community is closely watching for further developments.
