The duo of International Criminal Court, ICC and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, appear to have a big test between them after it issued a warrant of arrest against him.
The big question is: Will he obey the order?
And the second: What would the ICC do if he does not?
It issued the warrant, accusing him of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Apart from Netanyahu, the ICC also issued a warrant for the arrest of his former defence chief, as well as a Hamas leader, Ibrahim Al-Masri.
In issuing the warrant. ICC said Israel’s acceptance of the court’s jurisdiction was not required.
Israel has rejected the jurisdiction of the Hague-based court and denies war crimes in Gaza.
This comes as Israel said it has killed Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif, in an airstrike, but Hamas has neither confirmed.
In the last months, tension has heightened in the Middle East over the war between Israel, Hamas, and Iran with Israel making more incursions into Lebanon while the humanitarian disaster in Gaza continues to escalate.
