Israel fears International Criminal Court preparing arrest warrant for Netanyahu
The Israeli government has reportedly convened an emergency meeting amid concerns that the International Criminal Court (ICC) might issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders over alleged breaches of international law in Gaza, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
As per sources cited by Israeli Channel 12, three ministers along with several legal experts from the government convened at the Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday to strategize on how to handle potential arrest warrants, which they fear could be imminent.
The meeting included Foreign Minister Israel Katz, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer. They purportedly decided to seek support from international diplomatic channels to thwart any potential actions against Netanyahu.
The concerns stem from accusations leveled against Israel for violating international law during its retaliatory operations in Gaza following attacks by Hamas on October 7.
There are apprehensions that arrest warrants might be issued, particularly concerning the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Rights groups and international bodies have repeatedly warned of an impending "man-made famine" in the region, attributing it to alleged deliberate restrictions on aid entering Gaza.

Case registered after class 1 student made to stand in sun for 2 hrs as punishment in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A case has been registered after a class one student at a private school in the city was allegedly made to stand under the scorching sun for two hours as punishment for arriving late, police said on Saturday.
The incident occurred at a school in Yelahanka Attur Layout here, they said.
According to Police, the child's parents alleged that for being two minutes late to class, the school authorities made the boy stand in the sun for two hours as a punishment.
When the parents questioned the principal about the incident, they complained that she acted rudely and was arrogant.
Accusing the school staff of "misbehaviour", they demanded an explanation from the school administration.
After the incident came to light on social media platform 'X' on Saturday, where a video of the principal being questioned about the act was posted, the Bengaluru City Police responded saying subjecting children to physical or mental suffering is a punishable offence.
"We have taken serious note of the incident reported under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, regarding the reported incident where a child was allegedly made to stand under the sun for two hours as punishment for being late. Subjecting children to physical or mental suffering is a punishable offence," the police said in the post.
A case has also been registered under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, which prohibits revealing the identity of any child involved in an investigation or case, it said.
Police also requested the public not to share videos or information that may reveal the child’s identity.
Such incidents should be reported directly to the police or child protection authorities, they added.
