Emboldened leader is in his strongest position at home since war began despite ICC arrest warrant
In a historic first, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a wanted man overseas. But at home, he is stronger than at any point since Hamas’s devastating October 7 2023 attack threw his political future into doubt. Buoyed by Donald Trump’s US election triumph, battlefield gains across the Middle East and the successful ousting of defence minister and longtime antagonist Yoav Gallant, Netanyahu’s allies are urging him to seize the moment and consolidate his power.
The ICC’s warrant also means that Netanyahu is at risk of being arrested if he travels to any of the court’s member states, which include most European countries as well as many in Latin America, Africa and Asia, and reinforces the sense of Israel’s growing international isolation. But the US, Israel’s most important ally, is not a member.
