AMSTERDAM (Agencies): In a significant development, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Amsterdam has requested an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant. The request comes on the grounds of alleged war crimes.
The ICC prosecutor stated that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity. This marks a significant escalation in the international legal scrutiny faced by Israeli officials.
In addition to the charges against Netanyahu and Gallant, the ICC office is also seeking arrest warrants against three leading Hamas militants. These individuals are believed to have played key roles in the attacks that took place in Israel on October 7.
