Israel recalled ambassadors, citing that the Europeans were rewarding Hamas for the Oct. 7 attack while Palestinian officials welcomed the development as a step toward statehood in the West Bank Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Israel warned the decision could alter regional relations as the ICC pursues warrants for Netanyahu and defense ministers.
