THE HAGUE, May 17 – The International Criminal Court has rejected claims published in Israeli media suggesting the court had issued fresh arrest warrants targeting five Israeli political and military officials over alleged crimes committed against Palestinians.
Court spokesperson Oriane Maillet released a statement to reporters refuting the accuracy of the story that appeared in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. The court “denies the issuance of new arrest warrants in the situation in the state of Palestine,” Maillet stated.
