US pressure could derail ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders

Court faces pressure after chief prosecutor announces he is seeking to arrest Israeli leaders for actions in Gaza.
When Israel started relentlessly bombing Gaza, Rasha Abu Shaban packed a handful of belongings and fled south with her parents and siblings.
Her brother stayed behind out of fear that he would never be able to come home again.
Abu Shaban was in a displacement camp in Rafah when she learned that an Israeli missile had struck her home.
“My brother was killed at the beginning of November. He was there with another family that was displaced in our house,” Abu Shaban, 38, told Al Jazeera. “We heard from [our neighbours] that an ambulance was prevented from reaching them.”
Abu Shaban is one of tens of thousands of Palestinians hungry for justice after losing loved ones, property and livelihoods to Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, which began after a Hamas-led attack on Israeli communities and military outposts on October 7.
