ICC Rejects Israel's Appeal Against Arrest Warrants
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally rejected Israel's appeal against arrest warrants issued for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Despite its top prosecutor facing misconduct allegations, the ICC has doubled down on its war-crimes case against the leaders of Israel, the only democracy fighting Hamas.
- The ICC issued its decision on Friday, brushing aside Israel's request to halt the warrant process.
- Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and therefore not legally subject to the ICC's authority.
- The court ruled that "the issue, as framed by Israel, is not an appealable issue", according to AFP.
The decision signals that, in The Hague, political theatrics now carry more weight than legal standards.
