The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants in November 2024 for Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. How come this is not mentioned in the article? 46.31.112.221 (talk) 10:09, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is. Note that IP users aren't permitted to edit in this topic area, I will post information about this on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 10:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence "The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant in November 2024 for Netanyahu along with former defense minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas militant Mohammed Deif, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine." is included in the article. 1101 (talk) 11:16, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This fact should have its own self titled section dedicated to the official designation as accused War Criminal by the ICC, not a singular sentence, as it is arguably one of the most important contemporary developments in his public life- especially within the current context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.58.180.206 (talk) 15:10, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ArtemisiaGentileschiFan, GreatLeader1945, and PrimalMustelid: Since i think something productive can come out of this dispute, i'd like to try airing these issues out before this goes to ANI. Would attributing the statements regarding authoritarianism to some variation of opposiitoin politicians and researchers in the field be acceptable to you? I think the issue regarding authoritarianism clearly warrants mention but it needs more WP:NPOV phrasing. I'd also propose similar attribution-related changes to the part regarding the blaming of the leftist deep state to netanyahu (per the video he published a month ago + other statements) and the part regarding far-right politicians. What do you all think? Totalstgamer (talk) 18:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
