Israel Questions ICC Judge's Impartiality in Netanyahu Case

The request for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and others has been delayed amid concerns over judicial bias and jurisdictional challenges.

  • Israel has raised concerns about the impartiality of ICC Judge Beti Hohler due to her previous work with the Office of the Prosecutor.
  • The ICC's decision on arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and others has faced delays due to legal challenges and changes in the judge panel.
  • Romanian magistrate Iulia Motoc left the panel citing health reasons and was replaced by Judge Hohler.
  • The ICC chief prosecutor filed the request for arrest warrants in May, citing alleged war crimes by Netanyahu, Gallant, and three Hamas leaders.
  • The court typically takes about three months to rule on arrest warrant requests, but no set deadlines exist for this case.
