Israel – Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deeply concerned regarding the possibility of the International Criminal Court in The Hague issuing an arrest warrant in his name due to the military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported, citing sources, that Netanyahu has made great efforts in recent days to prevent such a development of events.

In particular, he allegedly held numerous phone conversations in an attempt to achieve any positive outcome on the issue, including indirectly pressuring US President Joe Biden.

According to what the newspaper reported, it may only be a matter of time before the International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant once morest Netanyahu.

In addition, according to the newspaper’s assumption, in light of the ongoing military actions in the Gaza Strip, the Hague Court may also place Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant and Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevy on the wanted list.

Last Thursday, April, Netanyahu made an official statement regarding the possible actions of the International Criminal Court once morest Israel, stressing that he would not allow any attempts by this body “to undermine Israel’s inalienable right to self-defense.”

According to the prime minister, the threat to arrest military personnel and officials in “the only democracy in the Middle East” that Israel represents “will create a dangerous precedent” on a global scale.
