Israel and Gaza are fighting. The International Criminal Court (ICC) wants to arrest Israel's Prime Minister and Defense Minister for war crimes. The ICC also wants to arrest three Hamas leaders. If the arrest happens, these men can't go to countries that follow the ICC rules without getting arrested. Israel and Hamas are not happy about this. People say the ICC only goes after leaders from certain countries. Now, they are going after Western leaders too. Marc Lamont Hill talks to the first ICC prosecutor about this. Israel is upset about the arrest warrants. They say it's not fair and that the ICC is wrong. The US also doesn't like this. They supported the ICC before, but now they are against it. They say Israel can handle its own problems. The US is mad because the ICC is not doing what they want. The ICC says Israel did bad things. They say Israel made people starve on purpose. This is a serious crime. But it's hard to prove. The ICC also says Israel didn't stop bad things from happening. But Israel says it's not their fault. They blame Hamas for stealing aid and causing problems. Israel and the US are not part of the ICC, so they say the ICC can't do anything to them. The ICC is making a big decision. They want to arrest important people from Israel and Hamas. Israel and the US are angry about this. They say the ICC is not fair and is making bad choices. Israel says they didn't do anything wrong. The US says the ICC should leave Israel alone.
