Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest in 124 International Criminal Court (ICC) member countries for alleged war crimes in the Gaza conflict. ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, citing crimes against humanity committed between October 2023 and May 2024. Nations like Ireland, Canada, and Italy confirmed their readiness to arrest him, while allies such as Hungary and the US denounced the decision. The Hague-based court relies on member state cooperation for enforcement. Netanyahu dismissed the warrant as politically motivated. Other countries, including Germany and France, are reviewing their positions on the ICC ruling.
