Netanyah reacts after the international arrest warrant against him

The Israeli leader's office says it flatly rejects claims made against the Israeli prime minister.

Netanyah's office said the country “will not bow to pressure, it will not stumble and pull back” until, it said, all Israeli war purposes are achieved.

Also, former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant received an arrest warrant, reports Aljazeera.

We remember that the three-member judicial body in the unanimous decision to give the order has written “panel found that there is reasonable reason to believe that both individuals deliberately and knowingly deprived Gaza's civilian population of the items needed for their survival, including food, water, and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity”.

In October 2023, two days after a surprise attack by Hamas in southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people and led to the capture and kidnapping of about 250 people, Gallant said “I ordered a full siege of the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, all locked up. We are fighting human animals and acting in accordance with the” circumstances.

Hamas and other groups in Gaza are still believed to hold hostage to about 100 people, at least some of whom were killed. The authorities in Gaza, led by Hamas, said the death toll in Israel's 13-month military campaign was more than 400,000 people, though it was not possible for journalists to verify the death toll. /Telegraphy/
