Israel's prime minister has reacted angrily to an announcement that the ICC is seeking an arrest warrant against him. The International Criminal Court's (ICC) chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, said there were reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant were responsible for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. "This is exactly what the new antisemitism looks like, it has moved from the campuses in the West to the court in The Hague. What a shame," Israel's leader said in a television address. The ICC is also looking into issuing...

Following the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and three Hamas leaders, global leaders began voicing their opinions on the move.

The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Karim Khan said that Netanyahu, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and three other Hamas leaders — Yehya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh — were responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Amongst other alleged crimes, a statement issued by the ICC accused Netanyahu and Gallant of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and "intentionally directing attacks against a civilian populatio...

The announcement deepens a divide within Israel's leadership more than seven months into a war in which Israel is yet to accomplish its stated goals of dismantling Hamas and returning hostages abducted in the militant group's 7 October attack. Gantz spelled out a six-point plan that includes the return of the hostages, ending Hamas' rule, demilitarising the Gaza Strip and establishing an international administration of civilian affairs. It also supports efforts to normalise relations with Saudi Arabia and widen military service to all Israelis. ''If you choose the path of fanatics and lead the...

The protesters continue to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign - but not before he has signed up to a deal with Hamas to secure the release of the hostages. There are believed to be about 132 hostages in Gaza - but it's not clear whether some may have died in the midst of the war. Earlier this week, Hamas said it had accepted a Qatari-Egyptian cease-fire deal that would end the war and bring about the phased release of some of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Israel swiftly rejected the deal, saying it did not meet “core demands,” and hours later sent tanks to capture...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that a US threat to withhold some arms would not prevent Israel from continuing its offensive in Gaza, indicating it might proceed with an invasion of the packed city of Rafah against the wishes of its closest ally. President Joe Biden has urged Israel not to go ahead with such an operation over fears it would exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave. On Wednesday, he said the United States would not provide offensive weapons for a Rafah offensive, raising pressure on Netanyahu. But in a statement released Thursday, N...

One of the more startling things about the current wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the US and Europe is the extent to which they — perhaps unknowingly — echo the Hamas ideology as they chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free”. The progressive-left position that seems to dominate these demonstrations is not that Israel should withdraw from the occupied territories, not a two-state solution, and not “land for peace”. It is the abolition of Israel and its replacement by what they see as Palestine. How did this happen? It seems to have come as a total surprise to many ...

Israelis protested on Saturday night, calling for a ceasefire and the resignation of hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tens of thousands took to the streets in Tel Aviv to demand that the government reach a deal with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. They also called for new elections, accusing Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict to keep himself in power. Netanyahu's government - seen as the most right-wight in Israel's history - insists it will not stop the war until the Palestinian militant group has been "annihilated". "We hope the world hears us and knows ...

Israeli airstrikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah have killed at least 22 people, including six women and five children, according to Palestinian health officials. One of the children killed in the strikes overnight into Monday was just 5 days old. The strikes hit three family homes with those killed taken to Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital. Israel has carried out regular airstrikes in Rafah since the beginning of the war and has threatened to send in ground troops. Israel has maintained that Rafah is the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza, despite other nations, including the US, warning t...

Israeli media are reporting the government has received indications from legal officials that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing arrest warrants for senior officials, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC is currently investigating Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The ICC case is separate from other cases brought against Israel at the International Court of Justice, including one filed by South Africa accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. In addition to Netanyahu, the ICC investigation could lead to arrest warrants bei...
