Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in Israel-Hamas fighting
apnews.com
The warrant was issued to Netanyahu, his former defense minister Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes.

Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and during the October 2023 attacks.

The court alleges actions like depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants, with Netanyahu calling them antisemitic.

Hamas also criticized the decision.

The practical enforcement of these warrants remains uncertain, as the ICC lacks authority to compel arrests.

    No one wants their lives disrupted by war. Settlers and the army do not represent the majority.

      The vast majority of Israelis either directly or indirectly support the army. Even the most progressive Israelis (specifically people who call themselves Israeli) will rarely speak out against war crimes.

      They don’t see their lives as being disrupted any more than usual. That’s the problem.

        A war with the middle east is not normal disruption. No one wants to experience a war specially families on both ends.

          Tell that to the families in Tel Aviv. They are not having the same experience as a family in Lebanon.

            They were bombed by Iran. I guess you are super brave to think the thought of death as not a bid deal. I think isreal is committing genocide lets get that straight. There are a lot of families that dont want to fear death everyday.

                  Alright I honestly didn’t know Lebanon was getting effects that far south. But then we need new polling, post bombing, to see if there’s been good change or bad change. Because bombing can have an effect where it actually concentrates support for the regime, and it can have an effect where people get mad at the regime because they think they’re being abandoned.
