ICC’s Karim Khan seeks arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas’s Yahya Sinwar, and others – BBC Information

Abstract

The chief prosecutor of the Worldwide Prison Courtroom is in search of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas’s chief in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar
Karim Khan can be in search of the arrest warrants of Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed al-Masri, and Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant
Khan says he has “affordable grounds to consider” the boys bear accountability for battle crimes and crimes towards humanity
Within the Hamas leaders’ case, the alleged crimes start “from at the least 7 October 2023”; within the Israeli leaders’ case, “from at the least 8 October 2023”
Israel’s overseas minister calls Khan’s determination a “historic shame” – a senior Hamas official can be essential, saying it “equates the sufferer with the executioner”
US President Joe Biden describes the ICC’s determination as “outrageous”, whereas Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington “basically rejects” the transfer
A panel of pre-trial judges will now decide whether or not the proof helps the issuing of arrest warrants
