Netanyahu, Gallant hold consultations amid ICC’s efforts to issue arrest warrants against them

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with other officials to discuss efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants against them, Anadolu reports.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today held an additional consultation with the participation of the relevant political echelon and the Attorney General (Gali Baharav Miara) on the issue of the International Criminal Court,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.

“The Attorney General reiterated her position regarding the establishment of a State Commission of Inquiry to examine the humanitarian situation in Gaza even though, according to the view of the Attorney General herself, there is no certainty that establishing this commission would lead to the cancellation of the request to issue the warrants,” the statement added.
