THE HAGUE (AP) — The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza. The warrants said there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and have intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny. The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. Experts say hunger has become widespread across Gaza and may have reached famine levels in the north of the territory, which is under siege by Israeli troops. Israel says it has been working hard to improve entry of aid, though the trickle of supplies into Gaza remains near the lowest levels of the war. Netanyahu condemned the warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. In a statement released by his office, he said: “There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza.” Gallant, in a statement, said the decision "sets a dangerous precedent against the right to self-defense and moral warfare and encourages murderous terrorism.” The warrant marked the first time that a sitting leader of a major Western ally has been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by a global court of justice. The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects, putting them at risk of arrest when they travel abroad and potentially further isolating them . Israel and its top ally, the United States, are not members of the court. But others of Israel's allies, including some of its close European friends, are put in an awkward position. Several, including France, welcomed the court's decision and signaled they might arrest Netanyahu if he visited. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden's administration was “deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision.” The warrants represent "the most dramatic step yet in the court’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Hamas," said Anthony Dworkin, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Israeli leaders, politicians and officials across the spectrum denounced the warrants and the ICC. The new defense minister, Israel Katz, who replaced Gallant earlier this month, said Thursday’s decision is “a moral disgrace, entirely tainted by antisemitism, and drags the international judicial system to an unprecedented low.” Human rights groups applauded the move. The warrants against both sides “break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law,” the associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch, Balkees Jarrah, said in a statement. The decision came six months after ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan requested the warrants. The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. It said it found reasonable grounds to believe Deif was involved in murder, rape, torture and the taking of hostages amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the Hamas-led attack, militants stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and taking some 250 others hostage. Around 100 Israelis remain captive in Gaza, around a third of them believed to be dead. Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh , who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death. The warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant were issued by a three-judge panel in a unanimous decision. The panel said there were reasonable grounds to believe that both men bear responsibility for the war crime of starvation and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts. The judges said the lack of food, water, electricity, fuel and specific medical supplies created conditions “calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza,” including the deaths of children due to malnutrition and dehydration. They also found that by preventing hospital supplies and medicine from getting into Gaza, doctors were forced to operate, including performing amputations, without anesthesia or with unsafe means of sedation that led to “great suffering.” Israeli diplomatic officials said the government is lobbying the international community to speak out against the warrants and is considering an appeal to the court. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal decision on how the government will proceed. Despite the warrants, none of the suspects is likely to face judges in The Hague anytime soon. Member countries are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that. For example, Russian President Vladimir Putin, wanted on an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, recently visited Mongolia, a member state in the court but also a Russian ally. He was not arrested. Still, the threat of arrest now complicates any travel abroad by Netanyahu and Gallant. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the warrants are binding on all 27 members countries of the European Union. France signaled it could arrest Netanyahu if he came to its territory. Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine called it a “complex legal issue” but said France supports the court’s actions. “Combating impunity is our priority,” he said. “Our response will align with these principles.” Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif. Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz, a retired general and political rival to Netanyahu, said it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.” Israel’s campaign has caused heavy destruction across Gaza and driven almost the entire population of 2.3 million people from their homes, leaving most dependent on aid to survive. Two days after Hamas’ attack on southern Israel, Gallant announced a total seal on Gaza, vowing not to let in food, fuel or other supplies. Under U.S. pressure, Israel began allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid to enter a few weeks later. Israel now says it puts no limit on the supplies permitted into Gaza, and it blames the U.N. distribution system. But Israel's official figures show the amount of aid it has let in has plunged since the beginning of October. The U.N has blamed Israeli military restrictions, along with widespread lawlessness that has led to theft of aid shipments. The case at the ICC is separate from another legal battle Israel is waging at the top U.N. court, the International Court of Justice, in which South Africa accuses Israel of genocide , an allegation Israeli leaders staunchly deny. Lawyers for Israel argued in court that the war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide. Associated Press journalists Raf Casert in Brussels, Mike Corder in The Hague and Josef Federman in Jerusalem contributed to this report.kijiji dartmouth 。

Katelyn and Kiersten Van Kirk, who are teammates on the Boise State University volleyball team, recently joined a lawsuit over transgender athletes in the Mountain West Conference. The sisters were all-state players at Manhattan Christian, helping the program reach five straight Class C championship matches and winning the title four times during that span. Now at Boise State, they’re among several current and former players claiming that their Title IX rights have been violated due the participation of a transgender athlete on the San Jose State University team. Boise State opted to forfeit its two regular season conference matches against SJSU, and three other conference schools followed suit with forfeitures. “It’s been a difficult season just because of this issue and there’s just been so many different conversations that we’ve had to have. It’s taken away a lot of just the volleyball part of the season,” Katelyn said. “I think that it has been a huge problem, but I think as a school and as just me personally, that we’re just standing up for different types of girls throughout the nation playing sports and different kids that want to play sports too.” The lawsuit the Van Kirks joined, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Colorado two weeks before the start of the Mountain West Women’s Volleyball Championship, asked for the SJSU player be declared ineligible for the tournament and for SJSU’s forfeit wins to be vacated. The emergency injunction was rejected by U.S. District Judge S. Kato Crews and upheld by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Had the judge granted the injunction, Boise State would have moved up to the No. 4 seed from No. 6 in the conference tournament. SJSU finished as the No. 2 seed and had a bye into the semifinals. “I wouldn’t say I was necessarily surprised (by the judge’s decision),” Kiersten said. “But it is disappointing to see just because all of us as athletes just worked so hard all season long and the tournament is what we were working towards all year long and winning the Mountain West championship. So to see that not being changed, and then our opportunities being taken away from us because of that, was really disappointing.” Why wasn’t the lawsuit filed earlier? “I think it definitely could have been something that was done earlier but also this is something that was so new to the teams in the Mountain West that at the beginning we were trying to figure out how to maneuver and manage what was going on,” Kiersten said. “Then towards the end of the season it was, no, we want to see something different, we want to see something changed. That’s when the Mountain West lawsuit began to be filed.” Boise State defeated Utah State in four sets in the quarterfinals on Nov. 27. Just hours following the victory, the team released a statement about choosing not to play SJSU in the semifinals: “The decision to not continue to play in the 2024 Mountain West Volleyball Championship tournament was not an easy one. Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.” Katelyn and Kiersten said there were many people involved in the decision not to play the semifinal match. But they declined to say whether the vote was unanimous. “Unfortunately, I am unable to answer that question because of the school and where we are at right now,” said Katelyn. The are 16 players listed on the team’s roster, including senior opposite Paige Bartsch, who led Helena Capital to three consecutive Class AA championships and was named the 2019 Montana Gatorade Player of the Year. “It was kind of just the whole program that had to just communicate a lot through different ways, and we just had to have multiple conversations about it,” Katelyn said. “It was a really hard decision to make.” Added Kiersten: “We knew going into that tournament there would be a decision that would need to be made since ultimately if we won we were going to face San Jose no matter what since they were on our side of the bracket. It’s a really hard situation to be in as student-athletes who work your whole career to get to that point of being in a Mountain West championship and working towards a Mountain West championship. To have that taken away is really heartbreaking. There’s a part of you that really wants to play in that game and then there’s a part of you that wants to stand for what you believe is right and stand for future generations.” The Van Kirks said they’ll continue to fight for “fair play.” “We’ll see with the higher court and what happens there,” said Katelyn. “If that doesn’t work out, then I think we’re just going to keep going up and just keep trying to fight the fight. Try our best just to figure out just a fair way of fair play for girls and also boys.” While the SJSU player has been identified by some news outlets, the Belgrade News is not publishing her name to protect her privacy. She played the three previous years without incident, and neither the player nor SJSU has spoken publicly about her identity. Kiersten said her participation became an issue this year. “It was definitely something that was under the radar,” Kiersten said. “There was always suspicions and a little bit of talk about it being an issue, but no one really knew until this year when I believe that one of this athlete’s roommates found out. And then in preseason that’s when it really hit the news and that’s when it came a bigger topic of discussion.” Kiersten, who is a junior opposite for the Broncos, has competed against the player the past three seasons. She noted the moment that something didn’t seem right. “I remember this one play, it was the last play of my freshman year, and there was an overpass. This athlete just jumped up like insanely high and just hit it straight down,” she said. “I remember after the game, we were all like, there’s no way. I’ve never seen any female athlete do that before.” According to the NCAA Transgender Student-Athlete Participation Policy, if a transgender woman meets the parameters set by that sport’s governing body she is allowed to compete in women’s sports. For volleyball, a transgender woman is considered eligible if she can suppress her testosterone under 10 nmol/L. San Jose State told CNN and ESPN that all of its student athletes are eligible to compete on its women’s volleyball team. Boise State was the first school to forfeit a match followed by Utah State, Nevada and Wyoming. After Boise State’s first forfeiture, the Mountain West Conference updated its policy, Kiersten said, to allow the forfeited matches to count as wins for SJSU and losses for the team’s that opted not to play. “In the NCAA, it’s just counted as a no contest,” Kiersten noted. “But the Mountain West changed it so it would be counted as a forfeit loss and win. So that was a big aspect of the Mountain West lawsuit to get those wins and losses removed since it would change the standings in the tournament.” In addition to the Van Kirks, SJSU co-captain Brooke Slusser and assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose are among the plaintiffs. “Obviously the co-captain is also the setter on the team and so she’s in this lawsuit and she’s trying to make a stand and same with the assistant coach. I commend them for taking a stand. I feel that is a really hard position to be in especially when you are on a team that player and you see nothing being changed,” said Kiersten. “But then again, all of other athletes ended up forfeiting games to take a stand against it and she still gets an opportunity to play for a championship on that team. I do commend her, and I think it’s great that she’s trying to make a change, but at the same time she was able to play in a championship and every team forfeited and didn’t get that experience.” Colorado State defeated SJSU 27-25, 25-20, 23-25, 25-16 in the tournament championship match on Saturday. Katelyn said she understands that there are people who see the situation differently and feel that a transgender athlete deserves the same opportunity that she has earned. “I think that either way there’s always going to be someone that’s upset. I just think that whatever is best for them, and I want the best for them, but I just think that playing in women’s sports is unfair competition and also a safety hazard as well,” Katelyn said. “I would say that men and women are created differently. Since birth we’re differently structured and hormones aren’t just going to change that. I think that just in sports it’s a big deal because men have that advantage over women, and women have fought so hard for their rights for so long, so I just think that we try very hard and as women we deserve those spots.” Despite the controversy, it was a successful season for Boise State. The Broncos finished with a 19-10 overall record, which includes the three forfeit losses, and were 10-8 in the Mountain West Conference. “It was still a really great season. I think we had a great season competing despite all of the controversy that happened,” said Kiersten. “It was kind of like a Covid situation in kind of a way where you have to take the games that you’re given and go all out in those games. Because there might be other games that you’re not necessarily able to play in.” Get any of our free daily email newsletters — news headlines, opinion, e-edition, obituaries and more.
