AP: International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials
I doubt that arresting the leaders of both sides of an armed conflict will actually end the fighting, but, hey, the folks in Den Haag appear to think it's worth a try.
Quote:The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects and is likely to further isolate them and complicate efforts to negotiate a cease-fire to end the 13-month conflict. But its practical implications could be limited since Israel and its major ally, the United States, are not members of the court and several of the Hamas officials have been subsequently killed in the conflict.
