The International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently reviewing a request for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant, amid escalating tensions in the Gaza Strip. This development follows the initiation of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Palestinian resistance on October 7, 2023, which has resulted in significant casualties and destruction in Gaza, raising international concerns about potential war crimes.
The ICC has allowed around 70 countries and organizations to submit legal arguments related to this case, including the United States, Germany, and several pro-Palestinian nations. The implications of these submissions could delay the court's decision, as it navigates complex legal and diplomatic landscapes, including the jurisdiction issues raised by the Oslo Accords.
