Live from the exteriors of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, where arrest warrants have been announced for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The two are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to their roles during the Gaza conflict. The charges include restricting humanitarian aid, targeting civilians, and depriving the population of vital resources such as food, water, and medical supplies.
The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber I has ruled that it has jurisdiction over these alleged crimes, citing its territorial authority in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. The warrants, issued on November 21, 2024, remain classified to protect witnesses and the integrity of ongoing investigations. However, details have been made public to provide transparency for victims and the global community.
The investigation into the situation in Palestine began in 2021 and covers alleged events dating back to 2014. According to the ICC, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the actions of Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Gallant contributed to significant civilian suffering and deaths during the conflict. This decision marks a key moment in the application of international humanitarian law to the Gaza conflict.
This decision represents a key development in the legal efforts to address alleged violations of international law in the region.
