Editorial: Le Monde

• Israel has enjoyed impunity regarding the Palestinian issue for decades, sparking strong reactions with the issuance of arrest warrants against Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu, and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
• The leaders are allegedly accused of intentionally depriving the civil population of Gaza of objects indispensable to its survival, using famine as a method of combat, and obstructing humanitarian aid in violation of international humanitarian law.
• Despite Israel's press restrictions in Gaza, evidence of the crimes perpetrated, including thousands of civilian casualties, widespread devastation and forced displacements, has accumulated.
• The ICC would likely not have needed to intervene had similar investigations been conducted within Israel, but this has not occurred.
• The US government, by siding with the Israeli authorities in this conflict, has a deficit in the Gaza war, which is being conducted with American bombs.

Conclusion: It is necessary to be aware of and support the ICC's decision to maintain justice and preserve accountability behaviors, despite the pressures it has suffered and the alleged accusation of anti-Semitism.
