The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. However, it is unlikely to make a difference in ending Israel's actions in Gaza. The arrest warrants send a message to potential war criminals that they cannot be protected from the international judicial system. Member states of the court must honor their obligations to arrest the accused if they land in their countries. Some states, like Italy and the Netherlands, have already expressed their willingness to do so. The media coverage has focused more on the Israeli reaction and its allies rather than the crimes themselves and the victims, with human rights groups universally condemning Israel's war crimes.
