All EU states 'obliged to execute' ICC warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant: Spokesperson


BRUSSELS: All European Union (EU) member states "are under an obligation to execute arrest warrants issued by the ICC,” EU spokesperson Peter Stano told Anadolu Agency (AA) in a written statement on Thursday (Nov 28), specifically noting the warrants issued for two top Israeli officials in the ongoing war on Gaza.

The International Criminal Court (ICC), in a landmark move last week, issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, where more than 44,000 people have been killed since October 2023.
