Overview
- Appeals judges upheld a lower decision allowing the prosecutor to investigate alleged crimes after October 7, 2023 without issuing a fresh notification.
- The ICC investigation proceeds, and the arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant remain in effect.
- Israel’s Foreign Ministry rejected the ruling, calling the court politicized and accusing it of disregarding the sovereignty of non‑member states.
- This decision addresses only one of multiple Israeli legal challenges to the case, with other bids on jurisdiction and related issues still pending.
- Some reports described a narrow 3–2 split and noted the dismissal of Israel’s complementarity argument that domestic proceedings should preclude ICC action.
