Israel fears ICC is preparing arrest warrant for Netanyahu

The Israeli government called an ’emergency discussion’ over concerns the International Criminal Court (ICC) could be preparing an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders over breaches of international law in Gaza, it has been revealed, reports Daily Mail.

Three ministers and several government legal experts met at the Prime Minister’s Office on Tuesday to discuss how they would manage arrest warrants after reportedly receiving information such orders could be issued imminently, according to Israeli Channel 12.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer reportedly met and decided to seek support from international diplomatic circles in an effort to foil possible action against Netanyahu.

Numerous bodies have alleged Israel has breached international law in its retaliatory campaign in Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks.

Israel reportedly fears that arrest warrants would be brought on the basis of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where rights groups and international bodies continue to warn of impending ‘man made famine’, alleging deliberate restrictions of aid into the Strip.
