The International Criminal Court (ICC) has rejected appeals from Israel and issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC charged them with 'crimes against humanity and war crimes,' including using starvation as a method of warfare and targeting civilians. Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the decision, arguing that it ignores Hamas' use of human shields and the terror attacks that started the war. Israel made efforts to block the ICC from approving the arrest warrants, but they were unsuccessful. The move comes after Senate Majority Leader-elect John Thune threatened to impose sanctions on the court.
