Israel has appealed against the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to seek arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, accused them of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Gaza. Israel's appeal argues that the ICC lacks jurisdiction since Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, which established the court. Furthermore, Israel contends that its own judicial system is capable of handling such allegations internally. The appeal also criticizes the ICC for what Israel perceives as a biased approach, potentially undermining peace efforts and the fight against terrorism. This development has sparked international debate about the ICC's role and its implications for global justice and diplomacy.
