Ammon News - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is worried that the International Criminal Court (ICC) might issue an arrest warrant for him and other senior officials, media reports have said.
Netanyahu is "unnaturally afraid and worried" due to the possibility of an arrest warrant by the ICC in The Hague, the Maariv newspaper quoted unnamed sources.
According to the daily, Netanyahu made telephone calls to international leaders and officials in recent days, especially to US President Joe Biden, to prevent the issuance of an arrest warrant.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice over the bloodbath it has perpetrated in Gaza. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
