The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC alleges they intentionally targeted civilians in Gaza, restricted food, water, and medical supplies, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The court found reasonable grounds to believe they are responsible for crimes including murder, persecution, and starvation as a method of warfare. The ruling follows Israel's retaliatory actions against Hamas after the October 7, 2023 attack, which caused widespread civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction.
