ICC · arrest warrants issued ICC — Warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas Leaders

In November 2024 the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of crimes against humanity (including murder and persecution) and the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare. The same day it issued warrants for Hamas leaders over the October 7 atrocities. A warrant is a finding that there are reasonable grounds to believe crimes were committed — not a conviction. The ICC has no police force, so enforcement depends on member states.
