ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, Hamas military chief

"The Chamber issued warrants of arrest for two individuals, Mr Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least Oct 8, 2023, until at least May 20, 2024, the day the prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest," the Hague-based ICC said in a statement.

A warrant had also been issued for Deif, it added.

Mr Netanyahu rejected the ICC's action, describing it as "anti-Semitic".

"Israel rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions levelled against it by ICC," he said, adding that Israel will not "give in to pressure" in the defence of its citizens.

He labelled it "a modern-day Dreyfus trial".
