Netanyahu claims Iran war opened door to free Gaza captives
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, said on Sunday that Israel's recent war with Iran had created new 'opportunities'—including a chance to free captives held in Gaza. 'Many opportunities have opened up now following this victory. First of all, to rescue the hostages,' Netanyahu told senior security officials. He added that Israel must still 'solve the Gaza issue' and defeat Hamas, expressing confidence both goals could be achieved. The ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in 2024, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza. Both men have dismissed the charges as 'anti-Semitic'.
