ICC Dismisses Israel's Appeal Against Arrest Warrants
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has rejected Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
- The ICC issued the decision despite its top prosecutor facing misconduct allegations.
- Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and therefore not legally subject to the ICC's authority.
- The court ruled that the issue raised by Israel is "not an appealable issue".
The Hague doubles down on its war-crimes case against the leaders of the only democracy fighting Hamas.
