The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor is considering issuing arrest warrants for Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Al Jazeera reported quoting Israel’s Channel 12.
The report said that Israeli government had received indications from senior legal officials regarding the arrest warrants.
The ICC is currently investigating Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
In addition to Netanyahu, these investigations could lead to arrest warrants being issued for Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, the report added.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv also reported that Netanyahu is “frightened and unusually stressed” by the possibility of an ICC arrest warrant.
