Warrant over Gaza war crimes
The ICC warrant targets Netanyahu personally. The court's investigation into the Gaza conflict led to the issuance, citing alleged war crimes. Specific charges have not been disclosed. The warrant is a formal legal step that carries weight for the ICC's member states. Netanyahu could face arrest if he travels to any of the 123 countries that are party to the Rome Statute.
Israel is not a member of the ICC and has rejected the court's jurisdiction. The warrant is the first of its kind for a sitting Israeli leader. The timing of the warrant coincides with ongoing international scrutiny of the Gaza war.
