ICC dismisses Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant

ICC Dismisses Israel's Appeal Against Arrest Warrants

The International Criminal Court has rejected Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Despite allegations of misconduct against its top prosecutor, the ICC is proceeding with its war-crimes case against Israeli leaders. The decision was made on Friday, dismissing Israel's request to halt the warrant process while judges consider a broader challenge to the court's jurisdiction.

Notably, Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and therefore not subject to the ICC's authority. The court ruled that

"the issue, as framed by Israel, is not an appealable issue"
, according to AFP.

Author's summary: ICC rejects Israel's appeal against arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.
