For much of the world, Israel is now a pariah state that has repeatedly ignored pressure from international bodies to end its brutal war in Gaza, stop using starvation as a weapon of war, and allow more aid into the besieged territory.
On Monday, the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court (ICC), a separate tribunal also based in The Hague, announced he was seeking arrest warrants for senior Hamas and Israeli leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the 7 October attack by Hamas and the ensuing war in Gaza.
The prosecutor is seeking warrants against the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, as well as three top Hamas leaders.
