ICC Seeks Unprecedented Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas Leaders

The International Criminal Court's move could reshape global perceptions of justice and international law.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and three Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
A panel of three judges will decide on the warrants, which could significantly impact Israel and the United States.
The focus on starvation as a war crime highlights the top-level policy decisions rather than battlefield actions.
Critics argue that Western dismissal of the ICC's actions may undermine the global rules-based order.
The warrants could marginalize the accused from future political roles, complicating peace negotiations.
