Netanyahu: ICC arrest warrants would be antisemitic hate crime... what??? LOLzzz
Israeli officials are increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is planning to seek arrest warrants for their top military and political leaders on suspicion of war crimes. Reports suggest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be among them, as the BBC's Anna Foster in Jerusalem reports.
The UN's top criminal court, the ICC, has been investigating Israel's actions in the occupied territories for the past three years - and more recently the actions of Hamas as well. It has the power to charge and try individuals for the most serious crimes under international law.
It has previously issued arrest warrants for leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, and Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony.
Mr Netanyahu has called the prospect of senior Israel figures joining the wanted list "an outrage of historic proportions", accusing the ICC of attempting to paralyse Israel's ability to defend itself.
But the fact that he's chosen to make such strident public comments suggests that, behind the scenes, such a scenario is being actively discussed.
