ICC issues war crimes arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant over Gaza war

Its a positive step except the USA will ignore it and still allow the murderers to speak and many of the actual members including the UK will never arrest either of them – but good news on the actual warrants – Mark

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, along with top Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif.
The ICC issued the warrant for Deif, who has been reported killed and who helped orchestrate the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel that left 1,200 people dead and more than 240 taken hostage, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court’s prosecutor is continuing to gather information.
The ICC’s warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant c, including the use of starvation as a weapon and directing attacks against civilians. The court said it didn’t find grounds for bringing a charge of extermination, a finding that would rule out charges approaching genocide.
The warrants pose a challenge for Israel’s efforts to rally support on the world stage, potentially putting Netanyahu and Gallant at risk of arrest if they travel to countries under ICC jurisdiction. The warrants also put the ICC’s reputation on the line, with the U.S. and Israel criticising it for investigating a democratic nation that was responding to an attack by a U.S.-designated terror organisation.
