The International Criminal Court (ICC) has said it would replace one of its judges on health grounds, Al Jazeera reports

The move could further delay a decision on the prosecution’s request to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant.

The ICC president said the presiding judge in the case, Romanian magistrate Iulia Motoc, had asked to be replaced on health grounds and was immediately replaced with Slovenian ICC judge Beti Hohler.
