<p>The world&rsquo;s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for the leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of crimes against humanity.</p>
<p>The warrants against Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant focus on allegations Israel has used food as a weapon in its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, a charge Israeli officials deny.</p>
<p>The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel&rsquo;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.</p>
<p>The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects. Netanyahu condemned the arrest warrant against him, saying Israel &ldquo;rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions&rdquo; by the court.</p>
