ICC Prosecutor Says Netanyahu Arrest Warrant Should Remain as Israel Jurisdiction Challenge Is Heard
- Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have called on judges in The Hague to deny Israel’s petition to annul the arrest orders issued last November against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-defense minister Yoav Gallant.
- Israel submitted the request while the court is reviewing whether it has the authority to oversee matters related to Gaza and the West Bank, maintaining that the ICC cannot exercise jurisdiction over Israeli citizens.
- The warrants, issued in November 2024, accuse Netanyahu and Gallant of using starvation as warfare, restricting humanitarian aid, and intentionally targeting civilians in Israel’s Gaza campaign.
- Prosecutors stated in a 10-page submission posted late Wednesday on the ICC website that there is "no basis to withdraw or vacate" the pending warrants, signed on behalf of Karim Khan, who is currently on leave.
- The court's ruling will influence whether the investigation proceeds, amid claims that criminal activities are ongoing and worsening, while Israeli authorities reject the allegations directed at Netanyahu and Gallant.
