The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar. The charges include war crimes and crimes against humanity. Netanyahu condemned the move as a "moral outrage," likening ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to Nazi judges. The warrants have drawn criticism from global leaders, including US President Joe Biden, who deemed the comparison of Israel and Hamas as "outrageous." Human rights groups have welcomed the ICC's actions, asserting the need for accountability. The warrants could restrict international travel for the accused leaders.
