ICC Arrest Warrants and Global Reactions

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, prompting a divided international response. Ireland, Italy, Canada, and the Netherlands expressed support for the warrants, while U.S. leaders from both parties condemned the decision. Netanyahu’s government plans to dismiss the court's legitimacy and is particularly interested in how the U.S. will respond, considering the limited options for travel due to the warrants. Many key countries that might arrest them upon arrival are signatories to the court, forcing Israel to seek political support and legal sanctions against the ICC.
