Jerusalem: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. This warrant has been issued over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the war between Israel and Hamas. ICC judges issued the warrants based on a Pre-Trial Chamber decision that found sufficient grounds for criminal responsibility against the three.
ICC judges reported that action would be taken against these leaders after it was found that decisions and actions taken by them during the conflict between Israel and Hamas may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court also said that those responsible for these crimes are trying to escape the law, hence an arrest warrant has been issued.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. This warrant has been issued over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the war between Israel and Hamas. ICC judges issued the warrants based on a Pre-Trial Chamber decision that found sufficient grounds for criminal responsibility against the three.
Warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant have been issued by Israel in the context of attacks in Gaza. A large number of civilians were killed in these attacks, which can be considered war crimes. At the same time, a warrant has also been issued against Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli Army says that he was killed in an airstrike in July.
Both Israel and Hamas have rejected these allegations. Israel says it took the action for its own security, while Hamas rejects the ICC decision, calling it a partisan and politically motivated move.
This step by the ICC is an important signal to the international community that no leader or group can escape responsibility for war crimes. This case also highlights that the International Court is ready to take strong action against those who violate human rights during war, regardless of country or group.
