       The International Criminal Courtâs recent issuance of arrest warrants to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza has stirred up a considerable backlash. Dismissing the charges as âabsurd and false,â Netanyahu announced that Israel would ânot recognize the validityâ of the ICCâs action. U.S. President Joe Biden denounced the arrest warrants as âoutrageous,â while the French government, after agreeing to support them, reversed its stance.
