Prosecutors in The Hague are also seeking the detention of Israel’s former defence minister, Yoav Gallant
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes during the war with Hamas in Gaza. The Jewish state does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction.
In a press release on Thursday, the ICC accused the two politicians of “crimes against humanity” committed between October 2023 – when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel – and May 2024, when the application for warrants was filled out.
