Will arrest Netanyahu if he visits our country : UK, Italy, Netherlands, and Canada

Tel Aviv (Israel) – The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. The Court said that the Israeli military is killing innocent people and leaving them to die under the pretext of destroying Hamas. (It is a universal principle that the innocent suffers with the guilty. Why is it being ignored that those who are considered innocent are helping Hamas terrorists ? Could Hamas have attacked Israel without their assistance ? – Editor) Western countries are divided over this arrest warrant. The United States rejected the warrant, while the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, and Italy have said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he visits their countries. A spokesperson for the US Government questioned ICC’s decision-making process, calling it ‘hasty’. The United States is not a member of the International Court.
Israel has rejected the charges framed by the ICC, accusing the Court’s judges of bias. Netanyahu said that the International Court is making false accusations against a democratically elected Prime Minister. We do not target civilians. We are making every possible effort to avoid loss of life. Israel broadcasts millions of phone calls, messages, and announcements to warn the people of Gaza about potential dangers. On the other hand, Hamas terrorists are putting civilians at risk. These civilians are being used as human shields by the terrorists. We have also supplied 7,00,000 tonnes of foodgrain to Gaza.
The ICC has also issued a warrant against former Hamas commander Mohammed Deif, in addition to Netanyahu. Deif is accused of mass killings, rape, and holding hostages in Israel on 7th October 2023. However, Israel claimed in July that they had killed Deif.
