Arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant have been issued by the ICC and sent to the 124 member states of the Rome Statute, which are obligated to enforce them. They must be arrested immediately upon entering any of these countries, including Israel’s allies like Germany, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
This follows ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan’s May 20 request, citing their responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Khan urged the court to act swiftly, rejecting appeals from various governments.
