Overview

• The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Joav Galant over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
• G7 foreign ministers met in Italy to discuss a coordinated response but failed to reach a consensus due to differing stances on the ICC's jurisdiction.
• Germany, as an ICC member, indicated Netanyahu could face arrest if he enters the country, while the U.S., not an ICC member, has taken a less definitive position.
• Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani criticized the warrants as 'useless' and called for their suspension, highlighting divisions within the group.
• Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán openly rejected the ICC's actions, inviting Netanyahu for a state visit and guaranteeing non-compliance with the arrest warrant.
