Summary
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Gaza. The warrants, which have created significant political implications, accuse the two leaders of using starvation as a method of warfare and directing attacks against civilians. While some countries express readiness to enforce these warrants, others, including the UK and US, express reluctance, raising questions about the ICC's effectiveness and the role of international law in geopolitical conflicts.
