The International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Sunday that reports claiming it had issued secret arrest warrants against five Israeli officials were “inaccurate,” after Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the court had targeted three politicians and two military personnel.
The report came as The Hague-based court already issued arrest warrants in November 2024 against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The Israeli army has killed more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 172,000 in a two-year war in Gaza since October 2023.
The army continues its attacks despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, killing over 870 people and injuring more than 2,540 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
