Appeals judges at the International Criminal Court have ordered a pretrial panel to reconsider an Israeli appeal against the court's jurisdiction over Gaza and the West Bank. The decision comes as part of ongoing litigation into Israel's assertion that the court did not have the legal authority to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister. In a legal victory for Israel, appeals judges stated that the pretrial panel had committed an error of law and ordered them to make a new ruling on Israel's challenge to the court's jurisdiction.
