Israel appeals ICC arrest warrants; Gaza death toll nears 45,000

As the death toll in Gaza nears 45,000, Israel faces an international outcry over the excessive force used against Palestinian protesters. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes. Israel, however, has appealed the warrants, citing self-defense and a lack of jurisdiction. The conflict continues to ignite global condemnation, with calls for independent investigations and accountability for alleged atrocities. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the cycle of violence and bloodshed shows no signs of abating.
