ICC Prosecutor Seeks Arrest Warrants For Israeli & Hamas Leaders

The International Criminal Court's (ICC) prosecutor has requested arrest warrants for several high-profile figures, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant, and high-ranking Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammed Deif. They have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

According to the prosecutor's office, the evidence gathered and reviewed provides reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant are criminally responsible for war crimes. The ICC's move highlights the severity of the accusations and the international legal mechanisms aimed at addressing alleged violations of international law by both state and non-state actors.
