Israel Cries ‘Anti-Semitism’ As ICC Issues Warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant; EU Says Decision Binding
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accused the ICC of anti-Semitism after arrest warrants were issued for him and former Defense Minister Gallant, calling it a “modern Dreyfus trial.” He claimed the charges were part of an effort by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to avoid sexual harassment accusations. The warrants, linked to alleged war crimes, were issued after the ICC’s investigation into actions in Gaza. Despite Israel’s condemnation, the European Union affirmed the warrants as binding, and Hamas welcomed them as steps toward justice. Meanwhile, dozens were reported dead or missing following Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
