Legal Developments
The ICC's Appeals Chamber ordered a pretrial panel to reassess Israel's challenge to the court's jurisdiction over Gaza and the West Bank, highlighting an initial legal oversight.
This decision comes after Israel contested the ICC's authority to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and former defense minister Gallant, accused of crimes against humanity in the Gaza war.
International Reactions
Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, vehemently reject the ICC's jurisdiction, labeling the arrest warrants as unlawful and null.
The ICC's actions, including the issuance of warrants for Hamas officials, have sparked widespread condemnation from Israel and the U.S., with allegations of bias and antisemitism.
