In a significant development, the Israeli National Security Council is reportedly considering the issuance of international arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This consideration also extends to the defense minister and the Chief of Staff.
The council’s secret discussions are in anticipation of potential arrest warrants that may be issued by the International Court of Justice in The Hague against senior officials in Israel. The discussions have led to the approval of several immediate measures, including a political campaign at the international level to counter this potential move.
This news comes in the wake of reports that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and other senior officials for alleged war crimes committed against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli political-security Cabinet is scheduled to meet to address the issue further. These developments follow a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in massacres of Palestinians.
