The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued a stern warning against threats and attempts to intimidate its officials amid ongoing investigations that could potentially lead to arrest warrants for Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, as well as Hamas officials. The ICC's statements come in response to pressures and criticisms from the United States and Israel, particularly concerning the court's inquiries into actions in Gaza. The ICC emphasized that such threats may constitute offenses against the administration of justice under Article 70 of the Rome Statute. This follows concerns raised by the US and allies, and warnings from US Congress members about potential repercussions. Netanyahu has publicly expected world leaders to oppose the ICC's actions.
