The International Criminal Court has, after several months of deliberation, issued an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, Benjamin Netanyahu, and now former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant.
Arrest warrants were proposed in May, officially announced on the Court's website, and in the meantime, Israel has officially requested that the request be rejected. Gallant and Netanyahu are subjects of an international investigation for, according to documents from the International Criminal Court, war crimes in Gaza, where more than 80,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023. It should be noted that the International Criminal Court, based in The Hague, was established by the Rome Statute, and that all signatories of this document are obliged to arrest individuals who are subject to arrest warrants upon entering the territory of their state. Gallant served as Minister of Defense from 2022 until November 5 of this year, when he was dismissed by Netanyahu. The Court's statement says: In accordance with valid reasons showing that Benjamin Netanyahu, born October 21, 1949, and Joav Gallant, born November 8, 1958, are responsible for crimes committed in a joint arrangement. Among these crimes are the use of starvation and hunger as a method of war, crimes against humanity, murder, torture, and humiliation, as well as actions against the civilian population. Netanyahu and Gallant are criminally responsible for war crimes primarily committed against the civilian population.
