ICC denies reports it issued secret arrest warrants for Israeli officials
The International Criminal Court denied reports that it issued secret arrest warrants for five Israeli politicians and military figures. Haaretz published claims that the court sought sealed warrants for five senior Israeli officials; the ICC called those reports inaccurate in a statement to Reuters. Such warrants would have blocked international travel and intensified legal pressure on Israel amid the Gaza war, so the court's denial removes an immediate legal escalation while investigations and international scrutiny continue.

There would have been at least as many for Hamas and Hezbollah leaders but it’s useless to issue arrest warrants for dead people.
Not so secret if its appearing here!
Times of Israel claims ICC has denied any arrest warrants have been issued. And Haaretz report that they have been sought at some point is surely correct - but it could possibly be before May 2025 since when the Chief Prosecutor has been sidelined. www.timesofisrael.com/icc-denies-i...
