THE HAGUE - The International Criminal Court (ICC) denied a report in Israeli media on Sunday that it had issued new arrest warrants for five Israeli political and military officials for alleged crimes against Palestinians.

ICC spokesperson Oriane Maillet said in a note to journalists that the report, in Israel's Haaretz newspaper, was not accurate, and the court "denies the issuance of new arrest warrants in the situation in the state of Palestine".
