Impact of ICC Arrest Warrants on Israeli Leadership

The issuance of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant marks a significant diplomatic crisis for Israel. The warrants stem from allegations of war crimes during the ongoing Gaza conflict, particularly accusations related to the starvation of civilians and targeting civilians. Reactions from various countries indicate a mixed response, with some showing compliance while others, such as Hungary, have stated they will disregard the warrants. The situation creates a complicated landscape for Netanyahu, who previously dismissed the ICC's actions but now must navigate the potential consequences of being labeled a fugitive.
