The ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, marking a significant international condemnation of actions in Gaza.
Prosecutor Karim Khan stated there were reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant are criminally responsible for war crimes committed in Gaza.
The charges included the rarely invoked war crime of starvation of civilians, alleging intentional deprivation of the civilian population in Gaza of essential survival resources.
Despite intense political pressure, the ICC judges unanimously decided to issue the arrest warrants, demonstrating the court's commitment to hold accountable those responsible for grave violations.
