The International Criminal Court (ICC) is struggling to maintain its authority as member states debate whether to adhere to their most basic obligations.

The ICC issued a warrant for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, accusing the prime minister of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity through the alleged use of starvation as a weapon in Israel’s war against the terrorist group Hamas. Warrants were also issued by the ICC for the arrest of former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri.
