🚨 BREAKING: The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant “for crimes against humanity and war crimes.”
The ICC's Pretrial Chamber I "found reasonable grounds to believe" that they “each bear criminal responsibility” for:
• “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”
• “murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”
• “starvation as a method of warfare”
“The Chamber also found that the alleged crimes against humanity were part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Gaza…”
“The arrest warrants are classified as ‘secret’, in order to protect witnesses and to safeguard the conduct of the investigations. However, the Chamber decided to release the information… since conduct similar to that addressed in the warrant of arrest appears to be ongoing….”
