ISRAEL ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK INTERNATIONAL COURT ARREST WARRANT FOR PM NETANYAHU

Israel is making attempts via diplomatic channels to try and block the International Criminal Court (ICC) from issuing arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and other military officials over war crimes, according to media reports.

Israeli officials fear that the Hague-based court might issue the warrants as early as this week.

Three years ago, the Court launched a probe three years ago into possible war crimes being committed in the 2014 Israel-Hamas war by the Jewish nation and the Palestinian militants.

An Israeli government source told The Times of Israel that the US is also "part of the last-ditch diplomatic effort" to prevent the ICC from moving forward with the arrest warrants.
