Wanted for war crimes: ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over Gaza

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during Israel’s assault on Gaza. The court also issued a warrant for Hamas’s military chief Mohammed Deif, whom Israel said they killed in August.

This is a major development on the international stage, says HuffPost correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed, particularly in its implications for US culpability in Israeli war crimes.

The Joe Biden administration, as Netanyahu’s “ultimate enabler,” is visibly “totally alone” in its refusal to recognise Israel’s crossing of “red lines”, as even its ally nations who are party to the ICC are now legally required to cooperate with the court’s decision.
