Appeals judges at the International Criminal Court rejected on Monday another appeal filed by Israel to halt the court's investigation into its conduct of the war on the Gaza Strip. This decision upholds the court's authority to continue investigating potential war crimes in the region. Israel has consistently challenged the ICC's jurisdiction over this case, arguing that its own judicial system is capable of independently investigating potential violations. The International Criminal Court, however, insists on the need for its own investigation, citing that national authorities have not taken sufficient steps to establish accountability. The ICC's investigation focuses on actions taken by both Israel and Palestinian armed groups in the context of the Gaza conflict.
