Part 4/7:
One crucial aspect of this ICC decision is the potential consequences for Netanyahu and Gallant regarding international travel. As members of the ICC, over 100 countries are now obligated to arrest both leaders if they enter their jurisdictions. This legal expectation could severely restrict their international mobility and diplomatic engagements moving forward.
International responses are beginning to form, with former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett characterizing the warrants as a “mark of shame” for the ICC. His condemnation reflects a broader sentiment among Israeli leaders, who have historically viewed such international legal judgments as politically motivated and biased against Israel.
