If the ICC wants to prove its moral clarity, it must rescind its arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) recently issued arrest warrants, before the ceasefire between Israel to Hezbollah, for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity during Israel’s war against Hamas.
At first glance, this might seem like a commitment to justice. But a closer look reveals a troubling reality: The ICC’s failure to grasp the complexities of asymmetric warfare and its double standards for democracies combating terrorism.
