16 July 2025 20:10 BST
Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday rejected Israel's request to withdraw arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Israel made the request while the ICC reviews its challenge over the court's jurisdiction to weigh in on its war on Gaza.
The decision, dated 9 July 2025, was published on the ICC website on Wednesday.
The judges also rejected an Israeli request to suspend the court's broader investigation into alleged crimes in the occupied Palestinian Territories.
