The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant. The ICC says both men – alongside a Hamas leader who was killed in July – bore “criminal responsibility” for crimes during the war between Israel and Hamas. The court accuses Israel of using starvation as a war tactic and for intentionally targeting civilians.

Europe and the US have been split in their response to the warrant. Most European countries including Britain have said they respect the ICC decision.

The US has backed Israel and called the warrant ‘outrageous.’ The United States’ closest neighbour, Canada, has said they would comply with the ICC’s arrest warrants and arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they step foot in Canada.

Italy and the Netherlands have also said they would comply with the orders, whilst the UK remained silent on whether they would arrest Netanyahu or Gallat.

What is clear is Israel is becoming more isolated on the world stage, and American leadership is being questioned.

Here’s how the world has reacted.
