Will ICC action deepen Israel’s international isolation? | Inside Story
In nearly seven months of war, more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed and large parts of the Gaza Strip destroyed.
The International Criminal Court’s top prosecutor says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant bear criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Prosecutor Karim Khan has also applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders for the October 7th attack on Israel.

And how does international legal pressure on Israel impact the realities on the ground?
