An arrest warrant was also issued for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, whom Israel claims to have killed earlier this year.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence secretary Yoav Gallant by the International Criminal Court . The warrants are for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the war in Gaza that Israel launched following the 7 October attacks. Another warrant was issued for the arrest of Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al Masri for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant In its update, the ICC said it found 'reasonable grounds to believe' that Netanyahu and Gallant 'bear criminal responsibility' for alleged crimes. These, the court said, include 'the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts'. Netanyahu previously spoke of his 'disgust' at the suggestion the ICC would seek an arrest warrant for him.
