AG Baharav-Miara Rejects Request to Open Criminal Probe Against Netanyahu and Gallant

Preventing ICC Warrants

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has reportedly dismissed a request to open a criminal investigation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The request was made in an attempt to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from issuing arrest warrants against them.

ICC's Acceptance of the Move

Baharav-Miara stated that such a move would not be accepted by the ICC. The court would likely see it as a ploy to avoid international prosecution, rather than a genuine attempt to seek justice.
