The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing the two of committing war crimes in Gaza over the death of 44.000 Palestinians. The move poses serious diplomatic challenges for Israel and many of its allies, so much so that the ICC's actions have split world leaders. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the decision a 'courageous step', while Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan described it as "the realization of justice". In contrast, US President Joe Biden labeled the court's decision disgraceful and US lawmakers threatened countries that chose to comply with the ICC's ruling.
