Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's controversial leader, has been issued with an arrest warrant for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The warrant relates to Israel's military actions towards the Palestinians, including allegations of starving civilians as a method of warfare and murder. The move has been met with outrage in Israel, where Netanyahu is seen as a divisive figure. This comes at a pivotal time for Netanyahu, who is currently leading wars against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and is facing a criminal trial on charges of bribery and corruption. Despite his troubles, Netanyahu has a reputation as a political survivor.
