Part 3/7:
The ICC's assertion speaks to the grave nature of the accusations. The chamber noted that the measures taken by Netanyahu and Gallant lacked a clear military justification, which is a requirement under international law. Moreover, their actions, which included obstructing humanitarian relief, potentially qualify as war crimes, marking this as a critical moment in the intersection of international law and conflict.
The arrest warrants, initially kept confidential, were disclosed by the ICC at this juncture due to ongoing conduct that they find might continue to warrant attention. The ICC underscored the importance of victims and their families being informed about these warrants, emphasizing the courts' role in holding leaders accountable for their actions.
