The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, alleging they committed crimes against humanity and war crimes during Israel's year-long war in Gaza against Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The Hague-based ICC also issued a warrant on Thursday seeking to arrest Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes from the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel sparking the war in Gaza.
