Summary

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and during the October 2023 attacks.

The court alleges actions like depriving Gaza civilians of essential resources.

Israel and the U.S., non-members of the ICC, reject the warrants, with Netanyahu calling them antisemitic.

Hamas also criticized the decision.

The practical enforcement of these warrants remains uncertain, as the ICC lacks authority to compel arrests.

      Alright I honestly didn’t know Lebanon was getting effects that far south. But then we need new polling, post bombing, to see if there’s been good change or bad change. Because bombing can have an effect where it actually concentrates support for the regime, and it can have an effect where people get mad at the regime because they think they’re being abandoned.
