ICC Issues Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu on War Crimes Charges

The International Criminal Court's unprecedented move restricts Netanyahu's travel and intensifies global scrutiny of Israel's actions in Gaza.

• The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
• The warrants limit Netanyahu's travel to the 125 ICC member nations, with countries like Canada, the Netherlands, and Switzerland pledging to enforce the arrest if he enters their territories.
• The charges include allegations of using starvation as a method of warfare and targeting civilians, though critics argue the ICC has failed to account for the complexities of asymmetric conflicts involving Hamas.
• The warrants have divided international opinion, with some nations, including Hungary and Argentina, rejecting the decision, while others remain non-committal on enforcement.
• The move has sparked debate over the ICC's credibility, with accusations of selective justice and concerns about its governance and oversight processes.
