The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the ongoing conflict with Iran and operations in Gaza. The historic move, announced Tuesday, alleges that Netanyahu oversaw military actions that deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure and violated international law. Netanyahu swiftly rejected the warrant, calling it an "antisemitic witch hunt" and vowing to continue defending Israel. The ICC's chief prosecutor cited evidence of disproportionate force and denial of humanitarian aid. The warrant obligates 124 member states to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot on their soil. The United States, a non-member, condemned the decision as "outrageous and counterproductive." Several European allies expressed concern, while Denmark—which recently accused Israel of genocide—welcomed the move. Israel's security cabinet is meeting urgently. The warrant further isolates Netanyahu as Japan, Denmark, and others have already cut or downgraded ties. The situation threatens to escalate diplomatic and legal battles worldwide.
