  • The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister, Beniamin Netanyahu, his former Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, and the head of the military wing of Hamas, Mohamed Deif, accusing them of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
  • The court has rejected Israeli claims that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the State of Palestine or Israeli citizens.
  • The decision has been criticized both within Israel and by the United States, which continues to firmly support Israel.
  • This move dramatically limits Netanyahu's ability to travel to many countries that recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC.
  • Despite these accusations, it is unlikely that Israel will hand over Netanyahu and Gallant to the court. The decision throws further shadows over Netanyahu and further isolates Israel in the international context.

Conclusion: This historic decision by the ICC has provoked an unprecedented situation, posing a new dilemma for global diplomacy and increasing pressure on Israel and Netanyahu. Although the extent of actual actions remains uncertain, it marks a significant milestone in the struggle for accountability and international justice.
