JUST IN: The ICC Appeals Chamber rejected Israel’s attempt to block the Gaza war crimes investigation, keeping the 2024 arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant fully in force.
➤ Judges dismissed Israel’s claims that the ICC lacks jurisdiction in Palestine and rejected efforts to disqualify Prosecutor Karim Khan
➤ The case stems from Palestine’s 2018 referral and covers alleged crimes in occupied Palestine since October 7, 2023, including targeting civilians and using starvation as a weapon
➤ The ruling means the investigation continues without interruption and the warrants remain valid and enforceable in all 124 ICC member states
While Israel does not recognize the ICC, the decision carries major global legal and political weight, increasing Netanyahu’s international isolation and making travel to Rome Statute countries risky. The ruling also reinforces the ICC’s authority, signaling that political pressure will not stop ongoing war crimes investigations.
