The International Criminal Court has taken a significant step in pursuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan revealed this move in a video message posted on X on Monday, May 20, citing their alleged involvement in the October 7 attacks on Israel and the subsequent Gaza conflict. The ICC's application for arrest warrants now awaits consideration by a panel of judges. Khan detailed the charges, including "extermination, murder, taking of hostages, rape, and sexual assault in detention," underscoring the enormity of the alleged atrocities.
