The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict. The decision has polarized public opinion in Israel, with Netanyahu receiving widespread support from across the political spectrum. Analysts warn that the ICC's decision could worsen the war in Gaza and Lebanon and harm the chances of a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon or a deal to bring back hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The arrest warrants also mean that Netanyahu risks arrest if he travels to any of the court's signatory states, including most of Europe.
