Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants for war crimes against him, ex-Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. Netanyahu called the decision "antisemitic," likening it to a "modern Dreyfus trial." The ICC accuses Netanyahu and Gallant of crimes against humanity, including starvation as a method of warfare. The court also charged Deif with crimes such as murder and torture. Netanyahu denied the allegations, emphasizing Israel's efforts to protect civilians. The U.S., a non-ICC member, condemned the warrants, with President Biden calling them "outrageous."
