Article by Susan M. Akram and John B. Quigley examines the International Criminal Court’s issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. It critiques the ICC’s long-standing reluctance to act on Palestinian cases and outlines how Israel and the United States have undermined accountability through threats, legal obstruction, and political pressure, while arguing that the warrants represent a pivotal moment that could limit Israeli impunity and reframe global discussions on justice, complicity, and enforcement of international law.
