ICC rejects Israel's bid to cancel arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over Gaza war crimes.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has denied Israel's request to cancel arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. The warrants were issued in November 2024, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also rejected Israel's request to suspend its investigation into alleged atrocity crimes in the Palestinian Territories. The court is reviewing Israel's challenges to its jurisdiction, but the arrest warrants remain active.
