Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) rejected, on Thursday, Israel’s request to cancel arrest warrants issued against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
According to a statement, the court also declined a separate Israeli request to suspend the broader investigation into alleged atrocities committed in the Palestinian territories.
The ICC stated that it will proceed with reviewing Israel’s legal challenges concerning the court’s jurisdiction over the war in Gaza.
Earlier, the ICC had issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant in connection with "alleged war crimes" in Gaza.
