International Criminal Court Orders Arrest of Isreali PM; Benjamin Netanyahu, Others

The International Criminal Court; ICC, on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister BENJAMIN NETANYAHU and former defence Minister YOAV GALLANT, as well as Hamas’s military chief MOHAMMED DEIF all in connection to the Isreal-Gaza conflicts.

The ICC’s move now theoretically limits the movement of Netanyahu as any of the court’s 124 national members would be obliged to arrest him on their territory.

 Israel said in early August that it had killed DEIF in an air strike in southern Gaza in July, although Hamas denies he is dead.

The court said that the arrest warrants had been classified as “secret”, to protect witnesses and to safeguard the conduct of the investigations.
