The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Al-Masri, over alleged war crimes in Gaza. The ICC claims they are responsible for the crime of starvation as a method of warfare, accusing them of depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources like food, water, and medical supplies. The warrants hold symbolic importance, but they also obligate 124 ICC member states to arrest these figures if they enter their territories. Compliance is uncertain, but the warrants mark a significant step in international justice.
