Global Tensions Rise Over ICC Warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged crimes in the Israel-Hamas conflict, sparking varied international reactions. While some countries, like Belgium and South Africa, support the ICC's decision and intend to comply, others, including the United States and Israel, criticize the move on policy grounds. The decision highlights ongoing debates about head of state immunity and the ICC's jurisdiction, especially concerning non-signatories to the Rome Statute like Israel.
