ICC dismisses Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant

ICC Dismisses Israel's Appeal Against Arrest Warrants

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has rejected Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The decision was made despite Israel's request to halt the warrant process while judges deliberate on a broader challenge to the court's jurisdiction.

  • Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and therefore not legally subject to the ICC's authority.
  • The ICC ruled that "the issue, as framed by Israel, is not an appealable issue", according to AFP.
  • The Hague doubles down on its war-crimes case against the leaders of the only democracy fighting Hamas.

    Author's summary: ICC rejects Israel's appeal against arrest warrants.
