International Arrest Warrant Issued for Netanyahu Amid Gaza Conflict
The ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others, claiming war crimes during the Gaza conflict, prompting international reactions, notably from Hungary.
Overview
On November 21, 2024, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, ex-Defense Minister Gallant, and Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, citing war crimes during the Gaza conflict. Netanyahu condemned the warrants as 'antisemitic.' Hungarian PM Orbán vowed to defy the warrant by inviting Netanyahu to Hungary, expressing support amid rising tensions. Currently, Gaza's death toll surpasses 44,000, with claims of humanitarian aid restrictions and civilian targeting against Israeli officials, which they deny. The warrants' enforcement relies on ICC member states, raising concerns about international law compliance.

Analysis
- Netanyahu's arrest warrant, issued by the ICC, marks a historical moment as he's the first leader from a western democracy to face such a charge, raising significant questions regarding international law and accountability.
- The ICC claims there are reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu and Gallant committed war crimes, specifically accusing them of using starvation as a method of warfare against civilians, and highlighting possible violations of human rights in the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
- The ICC's jurisdiction over alleged crimes in Israel stems from Palestine being a member of the Rome statute and the court's 2021 ruling recognizing it as a state, thus complicating the legal landscape surrounding this high-profile case.
