Israel has notified the International Criminal Court of its intention to appeal the arrest warrants issued for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant regarding their actions during the Gaza war, as stated by Netanyahu’s office on Wednesday.
Netanyahu also mentioned that U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham had briefed him on various initiatives he is advocating in the U.S. Congress aimed at countering the International Criminal Court and nations that choose to cooperate with it.
Last Thursday, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his former defense chief, and Hamas military leader Ibrahim Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif, citing alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Gaza conflict.
“Today, Israel has formally submitted a notice to the International Criminal Court indicating its plan to appeal the court’s decision, along with a request to suspend the enforcement of the arrest warrants,” Netanyahu stated.
