The United States and allied nations are worried that the issuing of International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli officials could sink a hostages-for-ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, according to Bloomberg.
Citing unnamed people familiar with the matter, the US news outlet reports on concerns that Israel could back away from the agreement if the ICC issues the warrants.
The report doesn’t specify what other countries have reached out to the court, but says G7 nation states “have begun a quiet diplomatic effort to convey that message to the Hague-based court.”
