ICC's Challenge: Prosecuting Non-Member Israel Amid Global Tensions
TL;DR
The International Criminal Court (ICC) can prosecute leaders of non-member states like Israel if alleged crimes occur in territories of member states or if the United Nations Security Council refers a situation to the ICC. This jurisdictional reach allows the ICC to investigate potential war crimes or crimes against humanity committed in Palestinian territories, which are recognized by the ICC as a member state.
