The International Criminal Court (ICC) has recently made headlines by issuing arrest warrants for several high-profile individuals involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Among those targeted are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas official Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif.

The ICC, based in The Hague, Netherlands, is an international tribunal established to prosecute individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression. The court's decision to issue arrest warrants for these individuals signifies a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who served in the Israeli government during critical periods of the conflict, is also among those targeted by the ICC. His involvement in military operations and decision-making processes related to the conflict has drawn scrutiny from international observers.
