ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant for Gaza 'war crimes'

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday, the court announced on X/Twitter.

"ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I rejects the State of Israel’s challenges to jurisdiction and issues warrants of arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant," the post read.

The ICC said that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant committed the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other humane acts.

Republicans planning forceful response to ICC after Netanyahu arrest warrant
‘The ICC has no credibility and these allegations have been refuted by the U.S. government,’ Rep. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.).
The International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister sparked a flurry of promises from Republican leaders to sanction the court and erode its legitimacy on the world stage.

The GOP-controlled House passed a bill earlier this year that would do just that, though Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) blocked it from coming to a vote in the upper chamber.

In a matter of weeks, however, Schumer will be in the minority—and Republicans will control both the House and the executive branch. Incoming GOP leaders in the House, Senate, and White House made clear that, come January, the ICC will face sanctions and other punitive measures.

“The ICC has no credibility and these allegations have been refuted by the U.S. government,” Rep. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.), President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser, said in reference to the court’s determination that Netanyahu and former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant are guilty of war crimes.
