ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri for alleged war crimes in the Gaza conflict. Netanyahu and Gallant are accused of actions such as murder, persecution, and using starvation as a weapon against Gaza civilians. Masri is charged with mass killings, rape, and hostage-taking during the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.

The decision has sparked strong reactions globally. Israel condemned the warrants as antisemitic and illegitimate, while Hamas and the Palestinian Authority welcomed them as a step toward justice. The United States and some allies criticized the ICC’s actions, while several European nations pledged to uphold their legal obligations under international law. Human rights groups hailed the decision as historic, urging accountability for all victims in the region.
