Netanyahu, Gallant wanted for arrest by International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024. They are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity during Israelโs military operations in Gaza, particularly for depriving civilians of essential resources such as food, water, and medical supplies. These charges arise amid a broader international critique of the ongoing conflict. Although symbolic, the warrants could limit their international travel but are unlikely to be enforced due to Israel’s non-membership in the ICC.
