      arrant, stating that it would not stop Israel from defending itself.
    • He called the ICC's decision "outrageous" and claimed it would not prevent Israel from continuing its actions in Gaza.
  • ICC's Findings:

    • The ICC found "reasonable grounds" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant were criminally responsible for war crimes, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare, and crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
  • Netanyahu's Criticism of the ICC:

    • Netanyahu accused the ICC of becoming “an enemy of humanity” and described the court's decision as a "dark day in the history of nations."
    • He dismissed the charges as “utterly baseless” and called them "fictitious crimes."
  • Ongoing Conflict in Gaza:

    • The conflict in Gaza escalated after a Hamas cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, resulting in 1,206 deaths in Israel.
    • Israel’s retaliatory operations in Gaza have led to 44,056 deaths, mostly civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run health ministry.
  • Humanitarian Crisis:

    • UN agencies have warned of a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including food and medicine shortages, which could lead to famine.
  • Arrest Warrant for Mohammed Deif:

    • The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas's military wing, in connection with war crimes. Israel had previously reported that Deif was killed in an airstrike in July 2023, though Hamas has not confirmed his death.
  • Netanyahu's Further Criticism:

    • Netanyahu criticized the ICC's decision to issue a warrant for the "body of Mohammed Deif," questioning the legitimacy of the ICC’s actions.
