The threat looms large for Israel as the International Criminal Court (ICC), is currently investigating the Hamas terror group’s brutal assault on Israeli soil while also examining Israel’s counter-offensive in Gaza. Warning the court against taking such a ‘drastic’ step, PM Netanyahu has said that if the international court issues an arrest warrant, it would be a “scandal of historic scale”. While this can cost Israel’s counter-offensive and ongoing military operations in Gaza, against the terror organization, several reports suggest that the ICC, which is authorized to charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, might soon issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli government and military officials.
